Product Description

[actual car]
- Since the section between Seno and Hachihonmatsu on the Sanyo Main Line has a continuous gradient of 22 per mille, freight trains are equipped with auxiliary locomotives as the most difficult part of the line. At the time of electrification in 1963, the EF59, which was modified by changing the gear ratio of the EF53, which was becoming surplus at that time, installing an automatic unlocking device, and installing a multi-link general control device, was used. Ultimately, EF53 was not enough, and 4 cars were remodeled from EF56. After that, the EF61-200 series was introduced, but only the EF59 was in charge of the double operation. By 1986, all aircraft were retired from active service.
- Unit 15 was manufactured in October 1934 as EF53-17, modified to EF59 at Takatori Factory in October 1965, and scrapped on October 1, 1984.
