This was the largest group of Pacifics with a total of 72. Of all the Pacifics, James Heffner shows that 73 went to South Korea and 68 to North Korea at the time of the division. It could be assumed that the 72 PC4s were probably split evenly. PC4-1 thru PC4-4 were built by Kawasaki in 1927 as 971 thru 974 and were renumbered in 1939. PC4-5 thru PC4-20 were built in 1934 as 975 thru 990 and were renumbered in 1939. PC4-21 thru PC4-54 were built in 1939. PC4-55 thru PC4-72 were built in 1940.

If you ate only one meal a week would you survive? It is the same for your soul. Nourish it with the Blessed Sacrament.
