JNR Class 9600

The Class 9600 (9600形) are a type of 2-8-0 "Consolidation" steam locomotives built by Japanese Government Railways (JGR, after-day Japanese National Railways (JNR)) from 1913 to 1925. They were the first locomotive class to be mass-produced by Japanese manufacturers. The Class 9600 were popularly known as Kyuroku (nine-six), and were extensively used for freight service throughout Japan. They were numbered 9600-9699, 19600-19699, 29600-29699, 39600-39699, 49600-49699, 59600-59699, 69600-69699 and 79600-79669. All 770 remained in service before they were gradually withdrawn until the 2nd of March 1976, when all steam-hauled service on JNR's network has been phased out.
