The Class C58 is a 2-6-2 wheel arrangement steam locomotive type built by the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) and Japanese National Railways (JNR) from 1938 to 1947.[2] They were dual-service or mixed traffic locomotives, optimized for both passenger and freight trains. A total of 427 Class C58 locomotives were built and designed by Hideo Shima.[2] Two members of the class are preserved in working order.

Preserved examples

Over fifty Class C58s were preserved; C58 239 and C58 363 are operational among them.

Operational

  • C58 239: Built June 1940, withdrawn 22 May 1972, preserved from 1 May 1973 in a park in Morioka, Iwate.[3][4] Restored to working order by JR East and used on steam excursions as the SL Ginga Joyful Train in northeastern Japan from 12 April 2014 until 11 June 2023.[5][6] As of 2026, it is still operational with an uncertain future, currently confined within Morioka depot.
