The DF200 is a diesel-electric locomotive introduced in 1994, affectionately known as the "RED BEAR." It is widely used for freight operations on non-electrified lines in Hokkaido and the Chukyo region. In recent years, the locomotives have undergone appearance changes, including the removal of the JRF logos from their body sides. DF200-201, assigned to the Aichi Locomotive Depot, was introduced in 2023 as the specially wrapped "Ai-Me" community support locomotive, featuring a distinctive full-body design.

◆ Ideal for realistic freight operations together with long formations of container or tank wagons.
