Please restore status to "Operational". My apologies for failing to report on this matter. The locomotive has returned to revenue service in January 2024 after an unexpected 2 year absence due to the piston ring failure immediately post overhaul in 2022.

Status should be "overhaul" until further notice. Locomotive was scheduled to return December 2021. However, after breaking the left-hand valve piston ring twice during the loaded mainline test runs in January 2022, JR Hokkaido withdrew its operating calendar for the 2022 season and is conducting a throrough inspection of the valve gear, valves and cylinders.
