The LC10 class consisted of two 762 mm-gauge steam locomotives for the Taitung Line, built in 1913 by Andrew Barclay Sons & Co. in Britain. They were originally classified as Class 10 and were later redesignated as the LC10 class. According to the annual reports of the Railway Department of the Taiwan Government-General, one locomotive was withdrawn in 1939. After the war, the remaining locomotive was taken over by the Taiwan Railways Administration and became LCK11 of the LCK10 class. No examples are preserved today.
