The DD51 diesel locomotive with a center cab made its debut in 1962. While such a center cab diesel locomotive had
been mostly used as a switcher in Europe and USA, DD51 was used here on main lines, too, to pull sleeper
"blue trains" and high-speed container trains throughout Japan. The diesel locomotive can be seen still often
on un-electrified lines in many regions in Japan.
