Paci-style Locomotive No. 23

This is a tender-type steam locomotive manufactured in Japan and assembled at the Gyeongseong factory of the Railway Bureau of the Government-General of Joseon.

It is a representative express passenger locomotive, well suited to Korea's topography and designed to run on domestically produced coal. It is the only Paci-style steam locomotive remaining in Korea.
