Information
The C55 is a light-duty passenger steam locomotive with a 1750 mm large diameter driving wheel. 62 cars were manufactured in 1955-19 (1935-1937). From C55, the sandbox and the steam dome were integrated, and runboard linearization was performed, and the figure became the basis to modernize the style of the later-Japanese steam locomotive. The driving wheel is a beautiful spoke type but has webbed reinforcement to increase its strength.
The secondary form was designed as a streamlined fashion at the time, but was later remodeled into an all-machine standard form.
Currently, in addition to the plum alley steam locomotive building, a total of four cars are stored in Hokkaido and Kyushu.
