The JGR Class 200 (originally the Sanyo Railway Class 21) was a 2-4-2T Columbian-type side tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1896 to 1961.

History[]

The Class 200 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was ordered by the Bantan Railway, with two locomotives constructed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in the United States and imported into Japan in 1896. The locomotives were classified as the Class L2 and numbered 4 and 5 on the Bantan Railway; the locomotives were later transferred to the Sanyo Railway, reclassified the Class 21 and renumbered 1 and 2, these being the second locomotives on the railroad to carry the numbers.

After the Railway Nationalization Act was passed in 1909, the locomotives were reclassified as the Class 200. The locomotives were retired from JGR service in 1917. Both locomotives were transferred to the Toya Railway, reclassified the Class A and renumbered 1 and 2. These were used for construction of the railroad and later used for shunting duties. The locomotives had a long service life on the railroad, and were retired in 1961, being used for excursion trips and being a popular sight with railfans. No Class 200s have been preserved.

Trivia[]
