JGR Class 9750

The JGR Class 9750 (and the related Class 9800 and 9850) are 0-6-6-0 Mallet locomotives built for the JGR from 1912.
==History==
The 9750s were used mainly as freight locomotives and were the first Mallet locomotives that were used in volume on the JGR, coming after the unsuccessful Class 9020 locomotives. A total of fifty-four locomotives were built by ALCO-Schenectady, Baldwin and Henschel & Son. The locomotives were retired in 1933 after a rather short service life of just twenty years.
No 9750 or 9800 locomotives survived into preservation. However, Class 9850 locomotive 9856 has survived into preservation, located at The Railway Museum in Saitama. The locomotive is non-operational and is sectioned to show its internal workings. The locomotive was formerly at the Manseibashi Railway Museum, and Omiya Works before that. Today, 9856 is the only surviving Mallet locomotive in Japan.
==Preservation==
