JGR Class 160

Steam and Early Locomotives

The JGR Class 160 was a class of steam locomotive formerly operated in Japan. Six were imported from the United Kingdom, four in 1871 and two more in 1874, all built by Sharp, Stewart and Company. Locomotive number 165 is preserved in operating condition at Meiji-mura in Aichi Prefecture and is the oldest operating steam locomotive in Japan. Its boiler was replaced in 1985, but the rest of the locomotive dates from the 1800s.
