The ED79 type was introduced as a locomotive used in the Seikan Tunnel, which opened in 1988, with the ED75-700 type equipped with a modification for continuous gradient and high speed in the tunnel and a security device for the Seikan Tunnel.
The ED79 type 100th generation appeared as an auxiliary locomotive for freight trains, and was used for freight trains passing between Higashi-Aomori and Goryokaku, but all of them retired in 2006.
Since the 100th generation was equipped with a security device only on the 2nd end side, it was always connected to the Hakodate side of the double heading with the 0th generation.
