what is it?
The Mogai class (モガイ) was a class of steam tank locomotives of the Chosen Government Railway (Sentetsu) with 2-6-0 wheel arrangement. The "Moga" name came from the American naming system for steam locomotives, under which locomotives with 2-6-0 wheel arrangement were called "Mogul". The Moga class was the first type of steam locomotive in Korea, introduced by the Gyeongin Railway in 1899 for use on the Incheon—Noryangjin line.
