Information
In 1966, JNR developed the medium-sized diesel locomotive DE10 for use on local lines and shunting. A specially constructed three-axle bogie was adopted to balance traction power with axle load restrictions, and for the first time in JNR, the number of driving axles was five. In 1987, at the end of JNR's existence, the Limited Express Ariake, which had been operated to Kumamoto by the 485 series limited express train, was to run directly to Suizenji Station on the Toyohashi Main Line, which was not electrified at the time, and DE101755 was selected as the locomotive to pull it. To match the image of the 485 series, the locomotive was repainted in JNR limited express colors of cream No. 4 with a red No. 2 stripe. In 1988, the 783 series began to run on the line, but DE10-1755 continued to be used in JNR limited express colors. In 1994, the direct operation of the Limited Express Ariake to Suizenji by a locomotive ended. As of 2024, the locomotive is still in service, but has been repainted black like other JR Kyushu locomotives.
