- The Ki600 and Ki620 were active in heavy snowfall areas throughout Japan, but when the DD14 rotary diesel locomotive was developed later, they were gradually replaced, and the model disappeared in 1975.
- The Ki621 was manufactured in 1948 as the second Ki620 type, placed in the Nagaoka first locomotive depot, and was active in the Niigata area.
