Sentetsu Teho Class Locomotives
The Teho or Teou (Japanese テホ, Korean 터우) class locomotives were a group of six distinct classes of steam tender locomotives of the Chosen Government Railway (''Sentetsu'') with 4-6-0 wheel arrangement. The "Teho" name came from the American naming system for steam locomotives, under which locomotives with 4-6-0 wheel arrangement were called "Ten Wheeler". The first 4-6-0 steam locomotives in Korea were built for the Gyeongbu Railway by the Baldwin Locomotive Works of the United States in 1906, and the last ones were delivered in 1945 just before the end of the Japanese occupation of Korea. Initially they were used for mainline passenger trains, but as more powerful types were introduced, the Ten Wheelers were reassigned to freight trains and branchline duties. They were especially commonly used on the Manpo and Pyeongwon lines. All classes of Teho type locomotives used in Korea were tender locomotives. All were fitted with driving wheels of , and all had a top speed ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
4-6-0
A 4-6-0 steam locomotive, under the Whyte notation for the classification of steam locomotives by wheel arrangement, has four leading wheels on two axles in a leading bogie and six powered and coupled driving wheels on three axles with the absence of trailing wheels. In the mid-19th century, this wheel arrangement became the second-most-popular configuration for new steam locomotives in the United States, where this type is commonly referred to as a ten-wheeler.White, John H., Jr. (1968).

As locomotives pulling trains of lightweight all-wood passenger cars from the 1890 to the 1920s, they were exceptionally stable at near speeds on the New York Central's New York-to-Chicago Water Level Route and on the Reading Railroad's line from Camden to Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Sentetsu Tehoshi-class Locomotive
The Tehoshi-class (テホシ) locomotives were a class of steam tender locomotives of the Chosen Government Railway (''Sentetsu'') with 4-6-0 wheel arrangement. The "Teho" name came from the American naming system for steam locomotives, under which locomotives with 4-6-0 wheel arrangement were called "Ten Wheeler". After the Liberation of Korea, of the 178 surviving locomotives of all Teho classes - including six previously owned by private railway companies - 106 went to the Korean National Railroad in the South, and 72 to the Korean State Railway in the North.
