Please change status to "Operational". After an absence of 1 year and 3 months, I am delighted to report that the largest operational steam locomotive in Japan is back in steam.

Please change status to "Display" for the time being. The locomotive reversed off the end of the water track on January 8 2024 with minor damage and is now awaiting repairs to the tender. Though the damage is indeed minor, the Umekouji shop crew have Mikado D51200 returning to the mainline at Yamaguchi, Pacific C571 under heavy overhaul, and their 0-4-0 tank B2010 also down with leaking flues. Due to this heavy workload, the timeline for the repairs to C622 are unclear.
