The China Railways SL3 was a class of 4-6-2 Pacific type steam locomotives, called Shengli, meaning victory, in Chinese service. They were first built for the South Manchuria Railway, the Manchukuo National Railway and the North China Transportation Company by several Japanese manufacturers between 1934 and 1940, from a design drawn up in 1933. Hitachi built the first ten Manchukuo National engines in 1934, shared the 1936 order with Kisha Seizo, and built twenty for North China Transport in 1939. After the war the Manchukuo and North China engines passed to the Chinese railways, which classed them PX3 in 1951 and SL3 in 1959, while the sixteen South Manchuria engines then in northern Korea went to the Korean State Railway. One, SL3 152, is preserved at the China Railway Museum in Beijing.
