After being active throughout the whole country as the last number in the C56 series during the JNR era, the C56 160 was transferred to Umekoji in 1972.
Since the JNR era, it has traveled throughout Japan and operated in Hokkaido, Tohoku, Kanto, Hokuriku, and Shikoku.
From 1987, it was operated mainly on the Yamaguchi Line as the SL "Yamaguchi".
Although it is no longer operated on the main line with the revival of the main line in 2018, it is still in service as a towing machine for the "SL Steam-go" in the Kyoto Railway Museum.
