About Class 8620

Also known as: 8620形

The JGR (Japan Government Railway) Class 8620 (8620形) is a type of 2-6-0 Steam Locomotive built in Japan from 1914 to 1929. It was Japan's first mass-produced passenger locomotive. A total of 672 Class 8620 locomotives were built. Originally they had a symmetry of line with shapely cast iron chimneys which gave way to plainer chimneys and smoke deflectors were added in later years.

This steam locomotive was popularized by Maitetsu with a Personification of the steam locomotive Hachiroku (Maitetsu), and in Demon Slayer as the Mugen Train.
