[Set contents] [EF58 60 Imperial Train Reserve Locomotive (M)] [Introduction to the actual locomotive] EF58 60 was a locomotive that was built in July 1953, along with its sister locomotive 61, and was designated from the ordering stage to be exclusively for the Imperial Train. The body was painted in a deep crimson color called "tame-iro," and it boasted a beautiful appearance with stainless steel decorative strips and an unpainted, polished undercarriage. The roles of pulling the Imperial Train were divided, with 61 as the main locomotive and 60 as the reserve. Later, 60's designation as an Imperial train locomotive was removed, and it became a general-purpose locomotive and underwent various modifications, but it continued to maintain its unique paint scheme and decorations and continued to be active as the ace of the Hamamatsu locomotive depot. The last hurrah for locomotive No. 60 was when it served as a reserve locomotive for the first time in a long time on the Imperial train that ran during the Aichi Tree Planting Festival in 1979, and it retired four years later in 1983, much to the regret of many fans.
