Seisen Shokusan 0-6-0 Locomotives in Korea


Class Details by Steve Llanso of Sweat House Media

Class 10 (Locobase 14618)

Data from Baldwin Locomotive Works Specification for Engines, as digitized by the DeGolyer Library of Southern Methodist University, Vol 60, p. 140. Works number was 54708 in April 1921 and 54765 in May.

This customer is difficult to identify. A contemporary notes says that Shokusan is often translated as "industry. But the term is broader than industry in the narrow sense since it also includes commerce, fishing, and mining." (p. 242, Modern Korea, 1944). Perhaps a better name would be "enterprise".
