D62 is a class of 20 2-8-4 steam locomotive built by the Japanese National Railways (JNR) in 1950 and 1951.
The D62 was a rebuild of the JNR Class D52, which had a 2-8-2 wheel arrangement. Following the launch of the D62, other 2-8-2 locomotives (D50 and D51) were also converted to 2-8-4, becoming JNR Class D60 and JNR Class D61, respectively.
Famous quotes containing the word class:
“I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
