Status should be "Display". Location is Nakagawa Seiryu Tetsudo Hozonkai (Nakagawa River Railroad Preservation Society), Nasu-Karasuyama, Tochigi, Japan. The locomotive is not actually numbered. 101 is the number of the SDF unit it served under, JGSDF 101st Railway Construction Unit (active 1960-1966). After disbanding of the 101st, the locomotive was displayed at JGSDF Camp Asaka from 1966 to 1993, when it was sold to a scrapper in Ibaraki and sat in the yard until 2010, when it was brought to the current location and cosmetically restored. The new owners painted it to resemble a brass model locomotive. Apart from a brief stint displayed at a local supermarket parking lot, the locomotive has remained under cover at Nakagawa since it was rescued in 2010.
