In addition to #C56-160 (Pony) and #C57-1 (Kifujin), the SL Yamaguchi has also been towing the locomotive since 2017 with #D51-200 (Degoichi). The locomotive that will retire from the Yamaguchi Line and retire from the operation of the SL Yamaguchi is the C56-160. On the final day of operation, Sunday, May 6th, in addition to the regular SL Yamaguchi (pulled by the D51-200 on this day), a special train, Arigato C56, will be operated. It is scheduled to depart from Tsuwano Station at 10:32 and arrive at Shin-Yamaguchi Station at 13:10. On the way, the SL Yamaguchi and Arigato C56 will pass each other at Shinome Station.
