JNR 2-8-2 No. D51-200

Posted by: Yuki Taki on Sep 17, 2025 @ 23:09:48
Further information on the nature of the failure for D51-200 has come to light. According to JR West company president Mr Kurasaka, the component that failed was the right main rod bushing. Judging by the photographs currently circulating on X, it appears that the right main rod bushing ran dry, melted the babbitt metal and slung molten metal all over the right side of the engine. They were able to find the problem and stop the locomotive before the rod seized, fortunately, and the locomotive is, at the time of writing, stored safely at Shin-Yamaguchi.

JNR 2-8-2 No. D51-200

Posted by: Yuki Taki on Sep 15, 2025 @ 06:09:54
First D51-498 and now D51-200 too. While pulling the Yamaguchi excursion train today, D51-200 ran a hot axlebox on the main driver. No word yet on the severity of the damage. With both C57-1 and D51-200 out of action, the Yamaguchi excursions for the rest of the year will most likely be hauled by a class DD51 diesel.
