Information
The Taki 1000 type appeared in 1993 as a successor to the Taki 43000 type. Currently, he belongs to Nippon Oil Terminal Co., Ltd. and Nippon Oil Transportation Co., Ltd., and continues to play an active role as a high-speed tanker train on the main line. The colorful paintwork applied by the owner company is also attractive.
We will commercialize the U.S. Army fuel transportation train that is being conducted for the U.S. Army base in Japan.
The dedicated train for transporting fuel to the U.S. Forces in Japan, Yokota, commonly known as the "US Ton", is made up of a series of Taki 1000s for transporting jet fuel. This train, which originally ran via the Nambu Line, has been changed from Shirate to Fuchu Honmachi via the Musashino Freight Line since March 2014, and has been converted to high-speed freight. The feature is that the sticker written "JP-8" is stuck on the side. Currently, they are driven about two days a week.
Tow locomotives should be used in conjunction with the currently active freight locomotives such as the EF65 2000 Resurrected JNR, the DE10 JR Freight Renewal Color, the EF210 100 Single Arm Pantograph, the EH200, and the EH500.
