Passee 4 4-6-2
This was the largest group of Pacifics with a total of 72. The first group, 1 thru 4, were built by Kawasaki in 1927 as numbers 971 thru 974. They were renumbered in 1938. Next came 975 thru 990 in 1934. They became 5 thru 20 in 1938. In 1939, 21 thru 54 were built, followed by 55 thru 72 in 1940. Of all the Pacifics, James Heffner shows that 73 went to South Korea and 68 to North Korea at the time of the division. It could be assumed that the 72 PC4s were probably split evenly.
Notice the streamstyled tender on the 9 spot and the domes left after skylining was removed on the 14.
