Features

The Yo 3500 is a conductor train of the Japanese National Railways. From 1950 (1950) to 1957 (1957), 1,345 cars were manufactured and remodeled. Since the supporting part of the leaf spring that receives and supports the axle is one-stage type, it is not suitable for high-speed traveling, so with the speeding up of freight trains, since 1967 (Showa 42), a two-stage link type for 85 km / h traveling Most of the Yo 3500s have been converted to Yo 5000s.
However, in Shikoku and Hokkaido, it remains only on the island, and even on the steep slope section of the Usui Pass on the Shinetsu Main Line, a special driving method with an EF63 is used, and a one-stage link type spring is installed for safety during sudden braking. 3500 was active. Although it is a one-stage link type spring with a limit of 75 km / h, it was active only in the section of Usui Pass until 1984 when the passage of freight trains was abolished.
In order to use the Yo 5000 type as a slow car for the container limited express "Takara-go", the traveling equipment of the Yo 3500 slow car was remodeled with a two-stage link from 1959 (1959) to accommodate up to 85 km traveling is.
The Yo 6000 was the successor to the Yo 5000, with 871 cars manufactured between 1962 and 1969.
Used throughout the country as the main conductor of the National Railways, it was active until 1987.
The Yo-8000 is a modest train that was active in the late period of the Japanese National Railways that appeared in 1975. It was active throughout the country as a conductor of a freight train.
The Waff 29500 is a covered express train that adds a railway express system to a wagon that was manufactured from 1955 to 1961. Covered express trains, which can be used as both conductors and covered vehicles in one car, are perfect for local lines with relatively low cargo handling volume, and 650 cars were manufactured and used throughout the country.
