The Class KF (聯盟型 ‘Confederation class’ transliterated to ㄎ ㄈ 1) was a 4-8-4 mainline passenger steam locomotive type built in the UK by the Vulcan Foundry for the railways of China. Between 1935 and 1936 24 locomotives were built for the Beijing-Hankou Railway designated as the 600 series.[citation needed] Following World War II and the establishment of the People’s Republic of China the Chinese Government assumed control of the railway and re-designated the engines as the KF class.
