Kato 3061-7 JRF EF65-2000 Revival JNR color ※Equipped with a new slotless motor
 
Among the EF65 1000 series inherited from JNR to JR Freight, due to the revision of the ministerial ordinance in 2012, the JR Freight 1000 series, which is not equipped with a driving status recording device and operates at less than 100km/h, is now owned by a passenger company. The 2000 series is a group that has been renumbered by adding +1000 to the original number to distinguish it from the 1000 series. In recent years, the use of Japanese National Railways colors during general inspections has become a hot topic.
You can see them active in a wide range of areas, from the Tokyo metropolitan area to the Tokaido, Sanyo, and Shikoku regions.
◆ Equipped with a newly developed slotless motor as standard
By adopting a newly developed slotless motor, it demonstrates smoother and quieter running performance than existing motors.
