JGR Class 8450

The JGR Class 8450 (originally the Sanyo Railway Class 5) was a 2-6-0 Mogul-type Vauclain compound steam locomotive built for the JGR in 1893.
==History==
The 8450s, originally known as the Class 5, was built as an example of the Vauclain compound locomotive being used in Japan; little is known about the locomotives' service history. Six locomotives were produced by Baldwin Locomotive Works and imported into Japan in 1893. The locomotives were later renamed to Class 8450 in 1909 with the establishment of a formal rule regarding locomotive naming after the Sanyo Railway was nationalized. The locomotives were retired in 1925.
No locomotives survived into preservation.
==Trivia==
*Baldwin's model number for this locomotive was 8-13/32D.
