The Baldwin supplied the first three 2-8-0 9000 class locomotives for export to Japan in 1893, in use of [[Hokkaido Colliery and Railway Company]], which were taken over [[Japanese Government Railway]] under [[Railway Nationalization Act]] of 1906.

Among several classes, most successful examples were 770 of [[JNR Class 9600]], built from 1913 to 1926. Some independent [[shortline railroad|shortline]]s had equivalent locomotives to 9600 both factory-new and secondhand from JNR, the last example was Yubari Colliery and Railway No. 21, built in 1941 by [[Kawasaki Heavy Industries|Kawasaki]]. Despite obsolescence and early replacement by 2-8-2 D51, 9600s were still widely utilized thanks to high performance and appropriate route availability. The last example, No. 79602, kept longevity until March 1976, making the very final steam traction in service on JNR. No. 79602 was nearly preserved, however, sadly, subsequently destroyed by arson attack at Oiwake MPD.
