Product Description
-- The ED76 500 series, which features a large headmark and was used to pull sleeper express trains on electrified sections, is now available in JR specifications!
[Product introduction]
- ED76 is an AC electric locomotive of Japanese National Railways that was introduced in 1965.
- Based on the famous AC locomotive ED75, the car body length has been extended to accommodate a steam generator (commonly known as SG) for heating passenger cars, and a non-powered intermediate bogie has been installed to accommodate the increased car body weight caused by the SG carrying water and fuel. Although it is a D-type, it has a large car body comparable to that of an F-type locomotive, and by adjusting the air spring pressure of the intermediate bogie, it can enter lines with lower track standards.
- The 500 series was introduced in 1968 to run on the Hakodate Main Line between Otaru and Takikawa, which was the first electrified section in Hokkaido, and was used in central Hokkaido as the electrified section was extended.
- Even after the transition to JR, it was used to pull sleeper trains with 14-series passenger cars and local trains with 50-series 51-type passenger cars, and was particularly distinctive for its large dedicated headmark on the sleeper express trains [Daisetsu] and [Rishiri].
- This is the locomotive that led passenger trains in Hokkaido after the transition to JR.
- It is recommended as a locomotive for the <10-1953 14 Series 500 Sleeper Express [Marimo/Daisetsu/Rishiri]> scheduled for release at the same time.
