The JGR Class 105 (originally the Akita Railway Class 4.1) was a 2-4-0T Porter-type side tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1874 to 1952.

History

The Class 105 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was ordered by the Akita Railway, with two locomotives built by Kerr, Stuart and Company in the United Kingdom in 1913 and imported into Japan. The locomotives were assigned the Class 4.1. The locomotives entered service in 1913. The Chūbu Railway took over one of the locomotives and changed hands a number of times.

After the Akita Railway's nationalization, the locomotives were reclassified as the Class 105. The locomotives were moved around a number of private railroads a number of times further until the last locomotive was retired around 1960. No Class 105s have been preserved.
