The Class C62 (C62形) is a type of 4-6-4 [[steam locomotive]] designed by Hideo Shima and built by the [[Japan_Railways|Japanese National Railways]] ([[Japan_Railways|JNR]]). The "C" classification indicates three sets of driving wheels.

The C62 has achieved a level of fame due in part to the manga/anime series [[ginga tetsudou 999|Galaxy Express 999]], in which the express is pulled by an advanced space locomotive that is built to replicate a C62.
