The JGR Class 70 (originally the Shingu Railway Class 3) was a 0-4-0T Switcher-type well tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1913 to 1936.

History[]

The Class 70 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was ordered by the Shingu Railway, with one locomotive built by Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik in Germany in 1913 and imported into Japan. The locomotive was initially classified as the Class 3 as it was the third locomotive at the time on the railroad. The locomotive entered service the same year and was used for switching duties.

After the Shingu Railway was nationalized, the locomotive was reclassified as the Class 70 and the locomotive renumbered likewise but the number was not displayed on the locomotive. The locomotive was retired in 1936 and subsequently scrapped; only one was ever produced. While few photos of the locomotive exist the locomotive is said to have an appearance similar to that of the Class 1025 locomotives.
