After JGR (1923 - )
No.7105, Yoshitune was deregistered on the 27th April 1923 from JGR, and it was sold to the Umebachi-Tettkosyo. Afterwards, 7105 was reconstructed to a 4-6-0 tank engine, but the time of reconstruction is unknown. (1938? - 1941?) Umebachi-Tettkosyo was renamed to the Teikoku-Sharyo-Kogyo Co. Ltd. during 1941. During October 1952, 7105 was donated to the JGR from Teikoku-Sharyo, and restored to an original tender engine at the Takatori works. Afterward, Yoshitune was safe kept at the Takatori works, and was loaned out for some festivals. During the 14th of October 1963, it was designated a semi-Railway Monument. During 1990, it was moved to the Modern Transportation Museum in Osaka. During October 2007, it was designated a Railway Monument. During March 2014, Yoshitune was moved to the Kyoto Railway Museum. |
