JGR Class 1025

The JGR Class 1025 (originally the Chūetsu Railway Class Kō 4) was a 0-6-0T Switcher-type well tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1913 to 1952.
==History==
The Class 1025 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was ordered by the Chūetsu Railway, with one locomotive built by Arnold Jung Lokomotivfabrik in Germany in 1913 and imported into Japan. The locomotive was initially classified as the Class Kō 4. The locomotive entered service the same year and was used for switching duties.
After the Chūetsu Railway was nationalized, the locomotive was reclassified as the Class 1025 and the locomotive renumbered likewise. The locomotive was then moved to the Kaetsu Railway in 1923, renumbered 3 and used until 1952 and subsequently scrapped; only one was ever produced. While few photos of the locomotive exist the locomotive is said to have an appearance similar to that of the Class 70 locomotives.
