Sentetsu Pashi class locomotives

built by Unknown builderยท meta-class of 5 Korean 4-6-2 locomotive classes

what is it?

The Pashi or Pasi (Japanese ใƒ‘ใ‚ท, Korean ํŒŒ์‹œ) class locomotives were a group made up of five distinct classes of steam tender locomotives built for the Chosen Government Railway (Sentetsu) with 4-6-2 wheel arrangement. The "Pashi" name came from the American naming system for steam locomotives, under which locomotives with 4-6-2 wheel arrangement were called "Pacific". As the 1920s approached, it became clear that Sentetsu needed more powerful locomotives than its existing Amei-class and Teho-type locomotives to pull its important passenger trains.
