During its time as JNR, No. 180 was in service mainly on the Uetsu Main Line and Ban'etsu West Line, and after its retirement it was preserved at Niitsu Daiichi Elementary School, but was restored to service in 1999 and is currently in service on the "SL Ban'etsu Monogatari" on the Ban'etsu West Line.
When the ATS-P, which was not originally equipped, was newly installed, the ATS generator was replaced with a larger one, a front snowplow was installed year-round, and further changes to the appearance have been made, such as the replacement of the smokebox handle and the removal of decorations on the chimney and other parts from April 2024.
