The
Hohenzollern Locomotive Works of
Germany in 1899 built a number of 0-4-0 tank locomotives for the
Japanese military in 1899. The Gyeongbu Railway Company obtained two of these in April 1906 for use on the
Gyeongui Line opened that year. The
Chosen Government Railway (Sentetsu) was founded on 1 July 1906 with the acquisition of the Gyeongbu Railway, and used the two locomotives on the Gyeongui Line for shunting and short-haul trains.[1]
They were likely retired prior to 1938, as they were not listed in Sentetsu's general renumbering of that year.
