JGR Class 6760

The JGR Class 6760 was a 4-4-0 American-type steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1914 to 1958.
==History==
The Class 6760 was designed by Yoshimatsu Ota and were used mainly as mixed-traffic locomotives. It is said to have been the first example of a Japanese standardized locomotive design, featuring various traits from its predecessors, the 6700 and 6750. A total of 88 were manufactured by Kawasaki Shipyards, now Kawasaki Heavy Industries.
The 6760s were said to have had inferior performance to the Class 8620 locomotives and had rough rides. As such, most were relegated to shunting duties and remained so until the end of their lives. The locomotives were retired by 1958, with none being sold to private railways. No Class 6760s have been preserved.
