Hokkaido Tanko Coal Mining & Railway Co / JNR 2-8-0 Locomotives in Japan


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 100 (Locobase 20196)

Data from Catalogue No. 10036--Locomotives for Export (New York City: American Locomotive Company (April 1910)., pp. 56-57. See also " Works numbers were 44550-44575 in November 1907.

Locobase 12656 shows the Baldwin trio of Consolidations that arrived in Japan in 1903.The Pittsburgh engines were essentially repeats of the Philadelphia locomotives except for the former's lower direct heating surface area, possibly because of a shallower firebox.
