I believe this to be a simple system error or some kind. Naebo works is in Hokkaido. C623 was built in 1948 (rather than 1942, posted here). If we were to trace it further, we find that it is Mitsubishi-built(build No. 492) Class D52 2-8-2 No. D52458, built 1945. The locomotive was restored in 1987 to commemorate the denationalization of JNR, and ran until 1995.
