Shining silver, Kyushu freight transportation veteran Denki EF81 300 series
We will commercialize the EF81 300 series, which is currently engaged in cargo transportation within Kyushu, with JR cargo specifications. The EF81 300 series had a stainless steel body structure in order to pass through the Kanmon Tunnel, and four cars, 301 to 304, were produced from 1973 to the year after, and all were placed in the Moji locomotive depot, but in 1978 ), two cars, 301 and 302, were transferred to the Joban Line. After that, in 1986, it was assembled again in Moji, and was modified to be a heavy train for hauling freight trains. After privatization, it was taken over by JR Freight, and after 1998, renewal work was carried out, and from 2010, operation at Kanmon was handed over to the successor EH500, and operation was changed to within Kyushu. Ta. All four machines were lent to the Toyama locomotive depot for a period of time, and at that time, the silver No. 303 and 304 models were also seen with snow plows and attracted attention. Currently, Unit No. 303 continues to be active for the last time in Kyushu.
