[Actual vehicle guide]
- The EF58 type is an electric locomotive of which a total of 172 locomotives were manufactured from 1946 to 1958. Vehicles 1 to 31, which were originally manufactured from 1946 to 1948, had a box-shaped body with a deck, but the improved and mass-produced vehicles after 1952 were also called the [New EF58] and had a streamlined shape. The incorporated design makes this vehicle popular with many railway fans. The product model, No. 150, is a vehicle manufactured by Tokyo Shibaura Electric (Toshiba) in 1958. It belonged to the Miyahara Engine Depot and was active on the Tokaido/Sanyo Main Line, and was scrapped in 1986. Just before the privatization of Japan National Railways in 1987, the paint was changed to brown and the car's registration was restored. It was inherited by West Japan Railway Company and was used as an event train. It was scrapped in October 2011 and is currently preserved at the Kyoto Railway Museum.
