JGR Class 5860

The JGR Class 5860 (originally the Hankaku Railway Class A4) was a 4-4-0 American-type steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1898 to 1923.
==History==
The Class 5860 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was ordered by the Hankaku Railway, with three locomotives built by Brooks Locomotive Works. These were assigned the Class A4 and numbered 8 through 10.
After the Railway Nationalization Act was passed in 1909, the locomotives were renumbered the Class 5860. The locomotives were mainly used around Fukuchiyama and Utsunomiya before being retired by 1923. 5861 was then transferred to Hokkaido University for use as teaching material, but was later restored to operation for use by the Haboro Charcoal Railway, where it was used under 1951. No Class 5860s have been preserved.
