Ｃ５７（steam locomotive）

There is a steam locomotive(SL) in the south-west part of Mitachi Traffic Park. It is named as C575. I heard that this locomotive had been running to pull passenger cars at Sanyo Line and Bantan Line in the Banshu Plain from November 21st in Showa 17th(1942) to January 19th in Showa 19th(1944). After that period, it had been running to play an avtive part in many places such as Nagoya. I wonder that such a locomotive is used in old days. I was impressed to imagine this locomotive puffing out smoke and running forecefully. So I would like to say to this locomotive "You made good jobs. Thank you". And at the same time I want to see this locomotive running forcefully with puffing out smoke.
