8045 Chiki 5500 (2-car)

The container limited express train was born between Tokyo (Shiodome) and Osaka (Umeda) in November 1959 as the container-only train for the first time in Japan. A number of prototypes and tests are repeated for containers that are operated at high speed and containers that are loaded at the time of operation, and the result is the Chiki 5000 container wagon and the 5000 container. Mammoth Electric EH10, which boasted the latest and strongest at the time, was designated as a traction machine, and a Yo 5000 type with a two-stage link mechanism corresponding to 85 km / h was connected to the tail, Chiki 24 and Yo 5000 1 both It was driven by a total of 25 cars.
