Please change status to "restoration". Oigawa Railway concluded a successful crowd-funding effort on November 30, 2022 and announced that the project to restore No. C56135 to operation will indeed move forward. Oigawa Railway subsidiary Tokai-Kikan has constructed a new boiler shop building off-site in Shimada City, where the locomotive will be relocated to in January 2023.

Location should be changed to Shin-Kanaya Depot, Oigawa Railway, Kanaya, Shizuoka, Japan. The Oigawa Railway stepped in at the last minute to purchase the locomotive as it was slated to be scrapped at the end of 2021. Status should be "stored". The railway plans to conduct a feasibility study to restore the locomotive to working order.
