EF510-500 electric locomotive (JR Freight specification, silver)
The EF510-500 series is an AC/DC electric locomotive that was introduced in 2009 to replace the EF81 series at JR East Tabata Depot, which was used to pull the sleeper express trains "Hokutosei" and "Cassiopea" and freight trains.
A total of 15 cars were introduced, including 13 cars in the Hokutosei color scheme with a blue body and gold stripes and shooting stars on the sides, and 2 cars in the Cassiopeia color scheme with a silver body and five-color shooting stars on the sides, but all of the cars were transferred to JR Freight by 2016 when the regular service of the "Hokutosei" and "Cassiopea" was discontinued.
The transferred EF510-500 series no longer has the decorations on the sides of the body, but it continues to be used in its original blue and silver paint along with the red 0 series.
In addition to being mainly used on the Japan Sea Longitudinal Line, where the EF81 type was previously used, in recent years it has been used on the Chuo West Line and the Tokaido and Sanyo Main Lines up to Okayama, where it has expanded its range of use.
