JNR Class E10
The is a type of 2-10-4 steam locomotive built by the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). They were numbered E10 1-E10 5 . They were built in 1948 and designed by Hideo Shima . Following the end of World War II Japanese Government Railways was prohibited by GHQ from building new locomotives due to financial difficulties. However, an exception was granted for the E10s to replace the ageing JNR Class 4110 locomotives. This was because it was not possible to substitute existing locomotives on the steep gradients of the Ōu Main Line where the 4110s were used. The boiler of the E10 was a special design based on the JNR Class D52 with the fire grate area reduced by 0.55m2. Five locomotives were manufactured by Kisha Seizō in 1948. They were the last steam locomotives built for Japanese National Railways. The last examples in regular service were withdrawn in 1962.

1067 Mm Gauge Locomotives Of Japan
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Steam Locomotives Of Japan
Steam is a substance containing water in the gas phase, and sometimes also an aerosol of liquid water droplets, or air. This may occur due to evaporation or due to boiling, where heat is applied until water reaches the enthalpy of vaporization. Steam that is saturated or superheated is invisible; however, "steam" often refers to wet steam, the visible mist or aerosol of water droplets formed as water vapor condenses. Water increases in volume by 1,700 times at standard temperature and pressure; this change in volume can be converted into mechanical work by steam engines such as reciprocating piston type engines and steam turbines, which are a sub-group of steam engines. Piston type steam engines played a central role in the Industrial Revolution and modern steam turbines are used to generate more than 80% of the world's electricity. If liquid water comes in contact with a very hot surface or depressurizes quickly below its vapor pressure, it can create a steam explosion. ...

Japan Railways Locomotive Numbering And Classification
This page explains the numbering and classification schemes for locomotives employed by the Japanese Government Railways, the Japanese National Railways and the Japan Railways Group. Steam locomotives Pre-nationalization Prior to the nationalization of Japanese railways in 1906 and 1907, the government-run railways had numbered their steam locomotives only with serial numbers without consideration of the types of the locomotives. From the beginning of the Kobe–Osaka railway in 1874, they allocated odd numbers to locomotives in Tokyo area and even numbers to locomotives in Kobe area, but this custom was not maintained after the completion of railway between Tokyo and Kobe in 1889. Later, some locomotives, such as Classes A8 and B6 and rack railway locomotives, were renumbered to make groups for easy recognition of classes. Classes were introduced by Francis H. Trevithick (1850–1931), a grandson of Richard Trevithick, employed by the government of Japan for supervision of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

JNR Class D52
The Class D52 is a type of 2-8-2 steam locomotive built by the Japanese Government Railways (Now Japanese National Railways) and various manufacturers: Kisha Seizo, Nippon Sharyo, Kawasaki Heavy Industries Rolling Stock Company, Hitachi, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries from 1943 to 1946. The name consists of a "D" for the four sets of driving wheels and the class number 52 for tender locomotives that the numbers 50 through 99 were assigned to under the 1928 locomotive classification rule. Preserved examples Most of the D52s have been scrapped. However, seven locomotives have been preserved. * D52 1, at JR Freight Hiroshima Depot * D52 70 is semi-operational and runs on a short line, on compressed air, at a park in Yamakita, Kanagawa. * D52 72, in Gotemba, Shizuoka * D52 136, in Numazu, Shizuoka * D52 235, in Kanuma Park, Sagamihara, Kanagawa * D52 403, in Hiratsuka, Kanagawa * D52 468, at the Kyoto Railway Museum, Kyoto [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
2-10-4
Under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives, a locomotive has two leading wheels on one axle, usually in a Bissel truck, ten coupled driving wheels on five axles, and four trailing wheels on two axles, usually in a bogie. These were referred to as the Texas type in most of the United States, the Colorado type on the Burlington Route and the Selkirk type in Canada. Overview The Texas wheel arrangement originated and was principally used in the United States. The evolution of this locomotive type began as a Santa Fe type with a larger four-wheeled trailing truck that would allow an enlarged firebox. A subsequent development was as an elongated Berkshire type that required extra driving wheels to remain within axle load limits. Examples of both of these evolutionary progressions can be found. Some tank locomotives also existed in eastern Europe. One extraordinary experimental tender locomotive, built in the Soviet Union, had an opposed piston driv ...

Ōu Main Line
The is a railway line in Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It connects Fukushima Station through Akita Station to Aomori Station. Since the opening of the Yamagata Shinkansen on July 1, 1992, the Fukushima–Yamagata section (as well as the Yamagata–Shinjō section since 1999) is sometimes referred to as the Yamagata Line. The name of the line as a whole refers to the ancient provinces of Mutsu (陸奥) and Dewa (出羽), as it connects both ends of Mutsu by passing north–south through Dewa.

JNR Class 4110
The is a class of 0-10-0 steam locomotives built by the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) and designed by Hideo Shima. A total of 39 locomotives were built by Kawasaki Shipyard (present-day Kawasaki Heavy Industries), as copies of the earlier Class 4100 0-10-0T locomotives imported from Maffei (company), Maffei in Germany in 1912. Five members of the class were converted to standard gauge and sent to Korea under Japanese rule, Korea in 1939, four to the Pyeongbuk Railway and one to the Danpung Railway.Kokubu, Hayato, 将軍様の鉄道 (Shōgun-sama no Tetsudō), p. 66 After the partition of Korea in 1945, all five locomotives were taken over by the Korean State Railway of North Korea, but their subsequent fate is unknown be it was assumed that they were scrapped around between 1969 and 1976 .
