The JGR Class 950 (originally the Sanyo Railway Class 10) was a 2-4-2T Columbian-type side tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1906 to 1925.

History

The Class 950 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was ordered by the Sanyō Railway as the Class 10, of which ten locomotives were built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works. These were assigned as the Class 10 and given the numbers 41 to 50.

One Class 950 was converted into a tender locomotive around 1909. After the Railway Nationalization Act was passed in 1909, the locomotives were renumbered the Class 950. The Class 950s were retired in 1935. No Class 950s have been preserved.
