China Railways SY
The SY () class 2-8-2 Mikado is one of the main industrial locomotives used by China Railways built mostly by Tangshan Railway Vehicle between 1960 and 1999. History and design The SY class was the last major class of steam locomotives to be produced anywhere in the world with the last one built in 1999. The design, however, is based on the earlier Japanese-built JF6 Class 2-8-2s which itself was based on a locomotive type built by the American Locomotive Company in the 1920s for use in Korea. What was contrasting from the JF6 Class was that the SYs were fitted with airhorns (like many other powerful steam locomotives), frequently blown as a warning; or else the operators of the class enjoyed sounding the airhorns more than blowing the whistles, as they found loud signal sounds more useful. The SYs are one of the few steam locomotives still found in active service in the 21st century, mostly working in coal and steel industries but can also be found heading commuter trains f ...
