Okinawa Prefectural Railways Class 6

The Okinawa Prefectural Railways Class 6 was a 0-6-0T Switcher-type narrow gauge side tank steam locomotive operated by the Okinawa Prefectural Railways from 1923 to March 1945.
==History==
The Class 6 was the third steam locomotive type to operate on the Okinawa Prefectural Railways. A total of three locomotives were built by Orenstein & Koppel for use on the railway in 1923, entering service that year.
Service details regarding this locomotive are scant although the three locomotives were used on the Okinawa Prefectural Railways until March 1945 with the line ceasing operations. Okinawa would ultimately lose all of its railways due to the effects of World War II, with numerous air raids significantly damaging the locomotives; Okinawa would not regain a railway line until 2003 with the construction of the Okinawa Urban Monorail.
No Class 6 locomotives have been preserved.
==Trivia==
*The locomotives were never given classifications by the Okinawa Prefectural Railways; this naming scheme is given for consistency and convenience.
