JR EF641011FHM |
| Description: |
EF64 #1011 has just come out of the tunnel at Fuchu Hon-Machi with her very short train. This one has the more modern blue/white 'wide stripe' paint job. Specificationwise the 64's are practically identical to the 65's: The 64 series debuted in 1964 and were in service only a short time before the 65 series, featuring many desighn improvements, came on-line. |

JR EF64#37'Chocolate' OMY |
| Description: |
This was the highlight of my 3 days watching JR trains...This EF 64, #37, is an early production version built between 1965 and {likely} 1970. This loco was painted brown in 2003 to commemorate the 100 year anniversary of the opening of JR's Chuo Mainline [Central Main] between Kofu and Enzan. It is now part of the 'preserved' fleet and used for charter and engineering runs. In this photo I have lightened the brown some in order to bring out the details on the cab end. |

JR EF64#37s2OMY |
| Description: |
The full frame, natural color version of #37...[it seems almost disrespectful to say but...] akin to a giant electrfied hershey bar!! -Neat thing was, I had a sense when something special was comin' down the pike, as a small group of local railfans would gather on the appropiate track and wait for the prize..and furthermore, it seems they were most all connected to some kind of app in thier phone which will tell them what train,time,and power will be on the movement of interest!! [How cool is that!!!]. Upon inquiry of the fan next to me, i was told this one has been named 'Chocolate'..and obviously well loved!! |

JR EF64#37s3OMY |
| Description: |
Parting shot of #37 in natural color. As a light move, she came into track 6 in a dignified manner and pulled up to the far end of the platform for a personnel change [or signal?] and then quickly went on. Later series of '64's did away with the cab vent slots above the marker lights. In all, I was very honoured to see such a fine lady!! |
