JGR Class 8250

The JGR Class 8250 (originally the Sanyo Railway Class 22) was a 2-6-0 Mogul-type Vauclain compound steam locomotive built for the JGR in 1903.
==History==
The 8250, originally known as the Class 22, was built as an example of the Vauclain compound locomotive being used in Japan; little is known about the locomotive's service history. 
One locomotive was produced by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and imported into Japan in 1903 and was displayed at a symposium in Osaka the same year. The locomotive was later renamed to Class 8250 in 1909 with the establishment of a formal rule regarding locomotive classifying after the Sanyo Railway was nationalized. The locomotive was retired in 1919. 
The locomotive did not survive into preservation.
==Trivia==
*Baldwin's model number for this locomotive was 8-20/38D.
