The Class ED15 (ED15形) was an electric locomotive formerly operated in Japan from 1926 until 1960. [1] The Class ED15 was the first mainline electric locomotive type to be built domestically in Japan. [1]
Three locomotives were built by Hitachi in Mito, Ibaraki, in 1926, based on electric locomotives previously imported from overseas. [1] Initially designated Class 1070 under the original Japanese Government Railways (JGR) numbering scheme, the locomotives became Class ED15 from 1928. [1]
The locomotives were initially used on Tokaido Main Line freight services, and were later employed on the Chuo Main Line. [1]
The locomotives were withdrawn from service between 1959 and 1960. [1]
ED15 1 is preserved at the Hitachi Mito Factory in Hitachinaka, Ibaraki. [1]
The ED15 classification for this locomotive type is explained below.
