The JGR Class 9200 (originally the JGR Class F2) was a 2-8-0 Consolidation-type steam locomotive built for the JGR in 1905.

History

The 9200s, originally known as the Class F2, was used mainly as a passenger locomotive and was built to supplement the Class B6s in their roles. Fifty locomotives were produced by Baldwin Locomotive Works and imported into Manchuria in 1905, and were later renamed to Class 9200 in 1909 with the establishment of a formal rule regarding locomotive naming; the locomotives were later used by a variety of small private freight railroads in Japan. The locomotives were retired in 1964 on these private railroads.

No locomotives survived into preservation.

The locomotives were nicknamed Daikon (literally "Big Con", Con = Consolidation) with reference to its size being far larger than the Class 9040s.

Trivia

• Baldwin's model number for the locomotives was 10-30-E.
