[Actual vehicle commentary]
--With the opening of the Hokuriku Tunnel in June 1962, the electrified section of the Hokuriku Main Line will move north to Fukui. The EF70 type AC electric locomotive was introduced in line with this. With the ED70 type single machine that had already appeared, there was concern about the environment inside the Hokuriku tunnel and the towing of 1,000 tons of trains on continuous slopes, and there was a plan to expand the transportation capacity in the future, so JNR exchange to allow room. It was born as a rare F-class machine.
――The EF70 type, in which 81 vehicles were mass-produced from 1961 (Showa 36) to 1965 (Showa 40), can be roughly classified into two groups. The vehicle manufactured at the time of the opening of Fukui Denka and the first group of additional vehicles are called the primary type (Units 1 to 21), and it is characterized by one headlight. Among them, the first manufactured Units 1 to 18 had a lightning arrester installed near the end, but soon they were moved to the vicinity of the center of the vehicle. Changes will be added a little, such as changing from lower support to upper window support.
――As the electrified section of the Hokuriku Main Line went further north to Toyama and Itoigawa, the EF70 type was expanded accordingly, and a group called the secondary type (Units 22 to 81) appeared. In terms of appearance, the image has changed significantly from one to two headlights, and the air filter and the lighting window above it, the shape of the crew room side window, the mounting position of the electric warming indicator, etc. are primary types. There are many parts that have changed since.
――Of the secondary types, 7 cars of Units 22 to 28 are in the electrified section of the Hokuriku Main Line when the 20 series Blue Train [Japan Sea] is set by the timetable revision in October 1968 (Showa 43). As a traction machine, the brakes etc. have been remodeled to support 20 series traction. The target aircraft were given new numbers from 1001 to 1007 due to the renumbering, and the head mark proudly ran through Tamura-Itoigawa. Later, the 20 series [Tsurugi] will be set, and the operation of the EF70 type will be gorgeous.
――In the same year when the [Sea of Japan] was set, the train that was operated from September to October 1968 when the Fukui National Athletic Meet was held was polished, although it was a modest decoration. The secondary model No. 35 fluttered the Japanese flag and played a major role.
――This time, we have commercialized the secondary type, 1000th generation, and Omeshi train traction machine, which have changed the appearance of the primary type and the equipment on the roof.
