● Item Introduction

The EF65 1000 and EF66 0 series are legendary Blue Train locomotives of the JNR era. While the EF65 1000 series was a versatile DC electric locomotive designed for double-heading operation and cold-region service, the EF66 was introduced one year earlier in 1968 and featured over 50% more output than the EF65 to meet the demands of high-speed freight services. From 1985 onward, it was reassigned to Blue Train duties on the Tokaido and Sanyo Main Lines.

◆ They played a central role in hauling overnight sleeper trains such as the 24 Series Type 25 “Seto / Asakaze,” making them indispensable symbols the golden age of Japan’s Blue Trains.
