-The EF58 appeared in 1946 as a locomotive to meet the demand for passenger transportation after the end of the war. Initially, it had a box-shaped body, but later it was replaced with a streamlined body and other improvements were made, and 172 cars were manufactured by 1958. Among them, the No. 89 locomotive equipped with an icicle cutter was painted brown (grape color No. 2) in 1984 at the end of the JNR era and pulled event trains. After that, it was painted in general color again, but it was popular as the only icicle cutter-equipped locomotive among the few active EF58s, and was used to pull various event trains until 1999. After that, it has been preserved as an exhibition locomotive at the Railway Museum in Omiya.

◆The EF58, which features an icicle cutter and a brown (grape color No. 2) body, is now available in HO gauge. It is also recommended as a locomotive for pulling the currently popular 1-501 to 503 (HO) 12 series passenger cars, (HO) Oha 35 series, and (HO) Suha 43 series.
