information
In the 1960s, many steam locomotives still remained on the Japanese National Railways (JNR) lines, and various diesel locomotives were developed to replace them. The DE10 diesel locomotive was developed in 1966 to replace medium-sized locomotives used for shunting and secondary lines, such as the 9600, C11, and C58. It adopted a unique AAA-B five-axle arrangement to ensure adhesion performance while keeping the axle load down to 13 tons and to reduce lateral pressure on curves. It was equipped with a single DML61ZA engine, the same as the DD51, and had a distinctive appearance with a bonnet that extended long on one side. The driver's cab was positioned laterally, taking shunting into consideration. As a general-purpose locomotive suited to the conditions of Japanese railways, 708 DE10s were manufactured by 1978, and many variations exist, including the DE11 specialized for shunting, the DE15 for snow removal, and types independently introduced by private railways. In the 2000s, JR Freight's DE10s underwent sequential refurbishment and repainting to distinguish them from unrefurbished units. The paintwork varies in detail depending on the factory that carried out the refurbishment. DE10-1719 is one of the locomotives that was refurbished at the Naebo factory, featuring a black stripe around the front windows. It was transferred to the Sendai area in 2010 and operated on the Ishinomaki Line and other lines, retaining this Naebo-type paint scheme until it was retired in 2021.
