Product Description
- In 1964, we published "Japanese Electric Locomotives," which introduced each type of vehicle using photographs from our collection, including imported locomotives from the early days that were quickly scrapped, as well as private railway locomotives.
- We have now decided to republish this book as a resource for the history of electric locomotives that should be preserved for future generations.
- To commemorate the reprint, this is a permanent preservation edition that includes an appendix, the Revised JNR Electric Locomotive Type Diagram Collection, which contains type diagrams and specifications of JNR standard electric locomotives (excluding some purchased electric locomotives) as of January 1956.
- This book was produced as a companion volume to "90 Years of Passenger Cars in Photographs: Japanese Passenger Cars," published in 1962 to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the opening of the railway. The book was written by a team of authors led by our company founder, Ryuzo Tanaka, who served in cutting-edge operational positions at the time, such as Director of Mizukami Locomotive Depot, and had a deep knowledge of electric cars. It explains each type of car that has marked the technological advances of the half century since its introduction, from Japan's first electric locomotive, the 10,000 series (later the EC40 series), to the latest ED75 series at the time of publication, and from private railways such as the Jozankei Railway and Mitsui Mining (Miike), with type photographs. It is now a valuable record, especially of those that were imported in small numbers in the early days and those that were manufactured domestically.
