Summary

[edit]
Description A large steam locomotive preserved outside the Saga-Arashiyama train station The engine is Japan Railway's class D51 and is a type of 2-8-2 steam locomotive built by the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), the Japanese National Railways (JNR), and various manufacturers from 1936 to 1945. The design of class D51 was based on the earlier D50, introduced in 1923. Wartime production featured some substitution of wood for steel parts like running boards, smoke deflectors and tender coal bunkers. A total of 1,115 D51s were built, the largest number in any single class in Japan. Early D51s were nicknamed Namekuji-gata ("slug-form") for their shape. The locomotive was designed by Hideo Shima. It was used mainly in freight service through the 1960s. Locomotives of this class were also used on the railways of the USSR, Korea and Taiwan. (Kyoto, Japan, Apr/ May 2019)
