Product Description
[First special feature: History of JR West's electric locomotives]
- JR West began using electric locomotives on April 1, 1987.
- EF65 1134, which pulled the "Departing JR West" train that ran from Tokyo to Osaka late the previous night.
- There was also a historic moment when the JR mark was displayed on the side of the train while it was stopped in Nagoya.
- From this day onwards, the electric locomotives that had been in operation in the JR West area began to face the final footsteps.
- This special feature will explain the electric locomotives that were in service at JR West, focusing on the electric locomotives that pulled the Kyushu-bound sleeper express trains Asakaze and Akatsuki, and the luxury sleeper express train Twilight Express, by vehicle type.
- We also visited Shimonoseki General Rolling Stock Depot, the only operational facility in JR West that currently employs electric locomotives.
- By covering the EF65 still in use, the program introduces the changes since the days of the Japanese National Railways, as well as the differences between JR East and JR Freight, which also deploy the same model.
[Second special feature: The locomotive that pulled the sleeper express train [Cassiopeia]]
- Introducing the electric locomotives that have pulled this luxury sleeper express train since its debut in 1999 up to the present day.
