Information
●The EF81, a representative AC/DC electric locomotive of the Japanese National Railways, was born in 1968. Even after the transition to JR, it has continued to serve as a versatile locomotive for passenger and freight services. The EF81, which still resides at JR East's Aomori and Nagaoka Rolling Stock Centers, is characterized by the eaves (icicles) above the front windows and its red No. 2 livery. In recent years, the couplers have been replaced with double-headed couplers, allowing it to pull not only passenger cars but also electric trains directly, and it has also begun to pull supply trains that transport newly manufactured cars and cars to be scrapped. It continues to be used today, pulling the special sleeper express E26 series "Cassiopea Cruise" and "Cassiopea Journey" services.

◆ Equipped with a newly developed slotless motor as standard
