Data from Catalogue Descriptive of Simple and Compound Locomotives built by Brooks Locomotive Works, Dunkirk, NY (Buffalo, NY: Matthew-Northrup Company, 1899). See also Consul-General Gowey, "Length of Railways in Japan as of July 31", letter of 24 August 1898, in Consular Reports - December 1898, Volume LVIII, No. 219, US House of Representatives, 55th Congress, 2nd Session, Doc. No. 565, Part 4 (Washington, DC: GPO, 1898), p. 565. Works numbers were 2862-2864 in December 1897.
This tank had relatively short tanks flanking a long boiler. Its vestibule cab suggests a cold operating environment. In 1898, CG Gowey's report showed that this railway was authorized to build a 64 3/4 mile (104 km) line.
