JGR Class 3045

The JGR Class 3045 (originally the Hokkaido Railway Class 5) was a 2-6-2T Prairie-type side well tank steam locomotive operated by the Japanese Government Railways from 1922 to 1949.
==History==
The Class 3045 was an early steam locomotive operated in Japan. The type was manufactured initially for the Hokkai Charcoal Railway, with two locomotives manufactured by Orenstein & Koppel, numbered 103 and 104. What would later be christened the Class 1260 were two locomotives built for the Hokkaido Railway in 1925. These were numbered 5 and 6. Another three derivative locomotives were also manufactured in 1923.
When the Hokkaido Railway was acquired by the JGR in 1943, the locomotives were reclassified the Class 3045 and renumbered 3045 and 3046. The JGR locomotives were retired by 1949, while the derivatives were retired by 1965. No Class 3045s have been preserved.
