EF66-2000

高速貨物列車専用の機関車として誕生し、国鉄最強の電気機関車と呼ばれたEF66。 量産車は1968年より製造開始され、独特のフロントデザインにより、当時話題になりました。 寝台列車牽引の花形にもなり、電気機関車の黄金期を作りました。   その後、JR貨物が製作した、EF66-100番台やEF200,EF210へ主役の座を譲りました。   今回、EF66のDNAを引き継ぎ、強力な出力を搭載し、インテリジェントな最新型電気機関車の試作機として、誕生したのが、EF66-2000です。   JRの電化区間には、直流と交流があります。その直流用に製造された機関車が直流電気機関車です。 直流機は一部分を除いて基本的に青色ですが、これは実験型のための灰色となっています。 The EF66 was born as a locomotive exclusively for high-speed freight trains and was called Japan National Railways' strongest electric locomotive. Production of the mass-produced car began in 1968, and it became a hot topic at the time due to its unique front design. It also became the star of sleeper train traction, ushering in the golden age of electric locomotives. ​ After that, the leading role was given to the EF66-100 series, EF200, and EF210 manufactured by JR Freight. ​ This time, the EF66-2000 was born as a prototype of an intelligent, cutting-edge electric locomotive that inherits the DNA of the EF66 and is equipped with powerful output. It has an output of 3,900 kW, the same as the EF66, and is equipped with a VVVF inverter. ​ JR's electrified sections have direct current and alternating current. A locomotive manufactured for direct current is a direct current electric locomotive. The DC machine is basically blue except for one part, but this is gray for the experimental type.
