The Class C10 is a type of 2-6-4T steam locomotive built by the Japanese Government Railways from 1930. A total of 23 Class C10 locomotives were built and designed by Hideo Shima. They were numbered C10 01-C10 23.[2] They were operated until 1962. Only one member of the class, C10 8, has been preserved, and is operational on the Ōigawa Railway. They would later form the basis of the JNR Class C11 in 1932.
