The JGR Class 1260 (originally the Kisuki Railway Class 5) is a 0-6-0T Switcher-type side well tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1921 to 1962.

History[]

The Class 1260 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was manufactured initially for the Yahata Steel Works, with three locomotives manufactured, numbered 300, 301 and 309. The locomotive was based on the Class 88 locomotives built for the Kansai Railway by Dübs & Co. A total of eight of these derivative locomotives were manufactured from 1921 through 1925. What would later be christened the Class 1260 were two locomotives built for the Kisuki Railway in 1923. These were numbered 5 and 6.

After the Kisuki Railway was acquired in 1934 by the JGR, the two locomotives were reclassified as the Class 1260 and renumbered 1260 and 1261; the remaining eight locomotives did not receive new numbers or the new classification but were technically classified under this number. The Class 1260 was retired from JGR service in 1947 and moved to industrial railroads for use, while the other locomotives were all retired by 1962. Only one locomotive, 1261, survives today. It is located at Kaya SL Square in Yosano, Kyoto and remains on static display.
