Description
-The C62, which was active in Hokkaido, was equipped with heavy cold- and snow-resistant equipment to suit the harsh winter climate, and was used to pull passenger trains such as the express "Niseko". Among them, the No. 2 unit has a "Swallow Mark" on the deflector (smoke deflector) and is bordered with stainless steel around the deflector, and was affectionately nicknamed "Swallow Angel". On the Hakodate Main Line, commonly known as the "Mountain Line", it was also popular to operate in multiple units with an auxiliary engine attached to the front. The last C62 triple-unit run on September 15, 1971 was the final C62 farewell run, after which C62 No. 2 was preserved in working order at the Kyoto Railway Museum, and C62 No. 3 was scrapped and preserved after being in service until the smokeless version was introduced on September 30, 1973. However, when the line was privatized by JR, it was revived in 1987 and was in service as the "C62 Niseko" until November 1995. It is currently preserved in static form at JR Hokkaido's Naebo Factory Railway Technology Museum.
â—†Hokkaido's C62 2/C62 3, which represents the steam locomotive boom of the late 1960s, is back again. You can recreate the famous double-unit run of the express "Niseko" with No. 2 and No. 3.
