Background and history

Originally these locomotives were designed for freight on the Tōkaidō Main Line and Sanyō Main Line, in an attempt to counter the increasing market share being gained by road transport, by providing a fast alternative to road transport using wagons suitable for containerised freight.

The production series of locomotives were delivered from 1965, with 308 built between 1965 and 1979.[1]
