The JGR Class 3030 (originally the Kansai Railway Class 93) is a 2-6-2T Prairie-type side tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1894 to 1953.

History[]

The Class 3030 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was ordered by the Kansai Railway, with five locomotives built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1894. These were classified as the Class 93, nicknamed Kasuga and numbered 93 through 97. These were mainly used for freight operations around the Kansai region, mainly around Osaka, Himeji and Hiroshima.

After the Railway Nationalization Act was passed in 1909, the locomotives were renumbered the Class 3030. Nineteen similar locomotives to the Class 3030, with some improvements, were locally built by the Kawasaki Shipyards and Nippon Sharyo from 1914 through 1924 for use on smaller, private railways. The JGR-affiliated locomotives were retired around 1926 and then sold to various private railways. These were all retired around 1953.

Two of the derivatives, Kominato Railway's 1 and 2, are preserved. The locomotives are preserved next to locomotive B10 4, with all three being designated as Tangible Cultural Properties in February 1980. No original Class 3030 locomotives have been preserved.
