The Chosen Railway Class 700 was a class of small 0-8-0T steam locomotives, meaning eight coupled driving wheels with the water and fuel carried on the engine itself rather than in a tender. The locomotives were operated by the Chosen Railway in colonial Korea and were built by Hitachi of Japan, with the article dating the build to 1927 and giving a gauge of 762 millimetres, which marks them as narrow gauge engines suited to a light railway. The article is brief and records little else about the class, and it states that nothing is known of the fate of the locomotives after the liberation and partition of Korea. The class is a small example of Hitachi building steam power for railways in the Japanese empire before the company turned to electric and high speed trains.
