In June, 1952, I arrived at Fort Eustis, VA, for my basic training. Here was a wonderful steam and diesel powered railroad, but steam was the primary power. I stayed until the end of the year when I shipped out to Korea. I returned twice for reserve training in 1956 and 1957.  I want to thank Brian Rumary, who provided additional information from England, and to Steve Holding, who also added information.

9000-9999

The 9400s were built in Japan for service in Korea. They were almost duplicates of the Korean National MK-1 class which dated back to the middle 1930s.  Many were never used, and they were scrapped in the 1960s.

9418 was built by Mihara in 1950.
