- EF58 No. 66 was one of the last group of EF58s (third-stage additions) manufactured with large front windows, and appeared in 1953. After being assigned to the Tokyo Locomotive Depot, it was transferred to the Shimonoseki Locomotive Depot and then to the Ryuge Locomotive Depot in 1978. At the end of the Tokyo Locomotive Depot era, it was equipped with cold-weather equipment such as front icicles, and when it was transferred to the Ryuge Locomotive Depot, the front headlights were changed to two lights. At the end of the JNR era, it was popular as the only large-windowed locomotive except for the designated locomotive No. 61, and was also used to pull the night local train "Hayatama". It was kept even after being scrapped in 1989, but was dismantled in 1996.

◆ We will recreate the active days of EF58 No. 66, which was popular at the Ryuge Locomotive Depot until its retirement. Not only will it be able to pull the 10-1881 overnight local train "Hayatama," which will be released at the same time, but it also comes with headmarks for the "Mystery Relay" and "Goodbye 66," so you can also enjoy it as a locomotive for pulling an event train.
