C11 247 was purchased by Rasa Industries in 1968, and worked alongside the preserved C10 8. Unlike its stablemate, C11 247 was retired in April of 1976, and ended up being scrapped. The leading axle and a set of driving wheels were displayed at the Zenpoji Railway memorial museum (The building was the former Zenpoji station for the Yunohama Railway (1929-1975; the museum itself was opened in 1978) until its closure in 1993. The museum sat abandoned and was demolished in 2022

There is some doubt as to the existence of this loco. Listings of surviving Japanese locomotives I have seen make no mention of C11-247.
