The {{Nihongo|Class C62|C62形}} is a type of 4-6-4 steam locomotive built by Japanese National Railways (JNR) in Japan. The C classification indicates three sets of driving wheels. The C62 was built with a 4-6-4 frame, upon which was mounted the boiler of the JNR Class D52 2-8-2 locomotives.

History

These were the largest and fastest steam passenger locomotives to run in Japan, and hauled the Tsubame (swallow) express on the Tōkaidō Main Line between {{STN|Tokyo}} and {{STN|Osaka}}. Only South Africa operated more powerful Cape gauge locomotives.[1] Forty-nine C62s were built from 1948 to 1949.[2] Five C62s hauled the Teine express in Hokkaido between {{STN|Otaru}} and {{STN|Hakodate}} after they were displaced by electrification of the Tōkaidō Main Line. Two locomotives were used to double-head trains on the 2.5% (1:40) grades between Otaru and {{STN|Oshamambe}} where they were a popular tourist and railfan attraction until 1971.[1] The last examples in regular service were withdrawn in 1973.

A class C62 locomotive, C62 17, broke the speed record for a narrow-gauge steam locomotive on 15 December 1954 when it reached {{convert|129|km/h|mph|abbr=on}} on the Tōkaidō Main Line. This locomotive was preserved in a park in Nagoya,[3] and later moved to the SCMaglev and Railway Park in Nagoya.[4]

In popular culture

The C62 has achieved a level of fame due in part to the manga/anime series Galaxy Express 999, in which the express is pulled by an advanced space locomotive that is built to replicate a C62.

The founders of Hudson Soft (rail fan brothers Yuji and Hiroshi Kudo) were fond of the C62 and other 4-6-4 locomotives,[5] so they named the company after them: 4-6-4 configuration locomotives are also known as Hudsons or Hudson-types. Japan picked up the term from the USA (where the first 4-6-4 built was named after the Hudson River), the C60, C61, and C62 used many American design elements and conventions in their designs, apparently including class names. Hudson Soft also named a number of products after the C62, including the development kit for the PC Engine,[6][7] and a chip (Hu62) that was used in a later version of the hardware.[8] It was also the code name for their console before they settled on PC Engine.[9]

Preserved examples

{{As of|2012}}, five Class C62 locomotives were preserved at various locations around the country.[10]
  • C62 1: Preserved at the Kyoto Railway Museum in Kyoto[10]
  • C62 2: Preserved in working order by JR West at the Kyoto Railway Museum [10] This locomotive wears a stainless steel swallow on its smoke deflector as a reminder of the era when it hauled the famous Tsubame express.[1]
  • C62 3: Preserved at JR Hokkaido's Naebo Works in Sapporo, Hokkaido[10]
  • C62 17: On display at the SCMaglev and Railway Park in Nagoya[4]
  • C62 26: On display at the Kyoto Railway Museum [10]
