Equipped with the Quantum System, this model can produce sound even when operated with a non-digital power supply controller.
The 15th batch, deployed west of Hamamatsu, before ATS was installed, serves as the prototype.
The signal smoke(flare) pipe is not equipped, and the pantograph is the PS15 model, with the LA13 lightning arrester installed.
The latest style features H-rubber-supported windows from the time of manufacturing on the front, the three central sections on the sides, and the central monitor.
Included number plates: 168, 194, 199
The EF15 type DC electric locomotive, designed to meet post-war freight transport demands, saw 202 units built between 1947 and 1958.
Sharing components with the EF58 passenger locomotive, it featured MT41 or MT42 traction motors and LT129 bogies.
Variations arose due to multiple manufacturers and later modifications, such as sealed beam headlights and window designs.
Initially deployed on major lines like Tokaido and Tohoku, steep gradients on the Ou and Joetsu lines led to 24 units being converted into the EF16 type.
The EF15’s operations declined with the introduction of newer locomotives, ending in 1986.
Unit No.158 remains preserved by JR West.
