Shinbashi, SL Hiroba 新橋駅西口広場(SL広場)
The C11 292 locomotive (66 t, 1,083,975 km travelled) has been here since 14 October 1972.
The square west of Shinbashi Station, known as SL Hiroba for the locomotive on display, technically remains part of the roadway. The C11 292 was built in 1945 and served at the Himeji depot; retired in 1972, it was transferred to Shinagawa on 9 August and taken out of service on 16 September; on 14 October 1972, for the centenary of the opening of Japan's railways, it arrived here on indefinite loan from the state railways. The square was renovated in spring 2006, when a bronze statue of a mother and child was moved beside the locomotive; in 2023 a monument with stones from the Takanawa embankment (part of the first railway line of 1872) was installed in front of the locomotive for the railway's 150th anniversary.
