The Class 9600 (9600形?) is a type of 2-8-0 steam locomotive built by Japanese National Railways (JNR) from 1913. The Class 9600 was the first type of locomotive to be mass-produced by Japanese manufacturers. The Class 9600 were popularly known as Kyuroku (nine-six), and were extensively used for freight service throughout Japan.[1] Many of this type were transported to China during the Second World War, becoming Chinese Railways meter-gauge type KD5 and KD55.[citation needed]
