The China Railways JF (Chinese: 解放; pinyin: Jiěfàng; lit. 'Liberation') class is a name given to a group of classes of steam locomotives for freight trains with 2-8-2 wheel arrangement operated by the China Railway. Originally designated ㄇㄎ壹 (MK1) class by the China Railways in 1951, the present name was assigned to them in 1959.

Composition

The JF group of classes is made up of twenty different classes of 2-8-2 steam locomotives:

• JF1 - 2027 engines; 455 built new after 1950, rest inherited from South Manchuria Railway, Manchukuo National Railway, North China Transport, Central China Railway, and private railways;
• JF2 - 41 engines inherited from the South Manchuria Railway;
• JF3 - 150 engines built in Czechoslovakia and inherited from the Manchukuo National Railway;
• JF4 - 15 engines inherited from the South Manchuria Railway;
• JF5 - inherited from North China Transport, originally built for the Jichang Railway
• JF6 - around 475 engines; 5 built new after 1950, rest inherited from the South Manchuria Railway, the Manchukuo National Railway, and North China Transport;
• JF7 - originally built for the Jingfeng Railway, inherited from North China Transport;
• JF8 - originally built for the Huainan Railway, inherited from the Central China Railway;
• JF9 - 38 engines of the Sentetsu Mikasa class, inherited from the Central China Railway;
• JF10 - 30 engines, US Army Transportation Corps S200 class, given to China as postwar reconstruction aid from the UNRRA;
• JF11 - 70 engines inherited from the Central China Railway, originally built for the Jinpu Railway and the Zhegan Railway;
• JF12 - 46 engines inherited from North China Transport, originally built for the Jingsui Railway as Class 300;
• JF13 - inherited from North China Transport, built in Czechoslovakia in 1939;
• JF15 - 6 engines inherited from the Manchukuo National Railway, originally built for the Jihai Railway;
• JF16 - 18 engines inherited from Central China Railway and the Manchukuo National Railway;
• JF17 - inherited from North China Transport, originally built for the Jiaoji Railway;
• JF18 - around 14 engines inherited from South Manchuria Railway;
• JF21 - inherited from the Central China Railway, originally built for the Yuehan Railway.
• JF51 - inherited from the Kunming–Haiphong railway.

The locomotives were used across the Chinese railway system, and were in service on the national railway system until 1996; on industrial rail networks some locomotives remained in use until the early 2000s. Several of the class have been preserved.
