JGR Class 4110

The JGR Class 4110 is a 0-10-0T high-pressure side tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1914 to 1950.
==History==
The 4110s were used mainly as freight locomotives and was able to cope with very steep gradients coupled with practically unheard of strength with regards to pulling power. The 4110s were essentially domestically manufactured copies of the Class 4100 locomotives made by Maffei in Germany, with thirty-nine built by the Kawasaki Shipyards. The locomotives were retired in 1950 after being replaced by the Class E10s in their duties. 
Two derivatives were manufactured for two different railroads; the Class E43 (later Class EK900) for the Taiwan Railways Administration of which eleven were produced by Kisha Seizō, and the identically-named Class 4110 locomotives for the Bibai Railway of which three were made by the Mitsubishi Shipyards. Four more locomotives, namely 4122, 4137, 4142 and 4144, were transferred from the JNR to the Bibai Railway, where they served until their retirement from 1969 to 1972. Five more were sent to Korea, with four used on the Pyeongbuk Railway and one on the Danpung Railway; all were taken over by the North Korean State Railway after the partition of Korea and were scrapped later on.
Three locomotives have been preserved, all having operated on the Bibai Railway.
