Product Description
──Prestige model of JREF81 electric locomotive (Rainbow) that reproduces the exterior paint of the Rainbow-exclusive locomotive
[Actual vehicle guide]
The EF81 electric locomotive was launched in 1968 as a pre-production model capable of running directly on the Japan Sea Longitudinal Line, which has both DC and AC 50Hz and 60Hz frequencies.
Developed based on the DC EF65 electric locomotive, the large 18m-long car is equipped with AC/DC equipment and is painted rose pink.
This vehicle was assigned to the Toyama No. 2 Locomotive Depot and could only be seen on the Japan Sea coast, but in 1973 it was also deployed to the Tabata Locomotive Depot and was introduced to the Tohoku Main Line and the Joban Line to replace the EF80 electric locomotives, so it can now also be seen in the Kanto region.
Some carriages with awnings on the front windows were equipped with double-headed couplers for pulling electric trains, and the shape of the skirt area changed with the addition of a compound core device.
The locomotives used to pull the Cassiopeia were painted light gray with straight lines of yellow, orange, and blue, and also pulled the Hokutosei and Elm trains, but in 2010 they were replaced by the EF510-500 electric locomotives.
The car was selected to pull the sleeper express train "Hokutosei" between Ueno and Aomori in 1988, and was later changed to a red design with a silver shooting star on the side, traveling back and forth at night on the Tohoku Main Line.
The No. 95 locomotive, which was used exclusively for the European-style passenger train Super Express Rainbow that appeared in the later period of the Japanese National Railways, is cherry red with a large "EF81" logo on its side. Even after it was retired as a passenger train, it has retained its unique appearance and is still used to pull the "Hokutosei" and "Akebono" trains, and in recent years, the "Cassiopea Cruise & Travelogue".
