The Class C62 is a type of 4-6-4 steam locomotive built by Japanese National Railways (JNR). The C classification indicates three sets of driving wheels. The C62 was built with a 4-6-4 frame upon which was mounted the boiler of the JNR Class D52 2-8-2 locomotives. These were the largest and fastest steam passenger locomotives to run in Japan and hauled the Tsubame (swallow) express on the Tōkaidō Main Line between Tokyo and Osaka.
