The E10 (E10形) is a type of 2-10-4 steam locomotive built by the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). Following the end of World War II Japanese Government Railways was prohibited by GHQ from building new locomotives due to financial difficulties. However an exception was granted for the E10s to replace the ageing JNR Class 4110 locomotives. This was because it was not possible to substitute existing locomotives on the steep gradients of the Ōu Main Line where the 4110s were used.
