── Escort the dead section! Back facing double DD50!
- Japan's first diesel locomotive for the main line is DD50. Three primary models were manufactured in 1953, and a total of six secondary models were manufactured the following year, with improvements and design changes to each part. Equipped with a large diesel engine with an output of 1,050 horsepower.At the time, a transmission capable of transmitting power from a high-output engine and allowing easy overall control of a cascade was under development, so an electric running device was adopted with an emphasis on practicality. it was done. It is characterized by a single cab design because it was assumed that it would be operated in multiple units or more.
- After completion, it was installed in the Tsuruga area of the Hokuriku Main Line, which had a continuous steep slope. Based on the achievements of these six DD50s, the mass-produced DF50 was created, so it can be said that it is a memorable existence as the foundation of domestic diesel locomotives for main lines.
- Compared to the 1st model, which has an impressive rounded face and a slightly gentle expression, the 2nd model has changed to a more severe design with a slightly angular silhouette, a higher front window, and skirt equipment. There was no difference in terms of performance, and it was also operated in a heavy train in which both cars were paired. From the mid-1960s, after changing to orange and gray diesel locomotive standard colors, from the time schedule revision in October 1968 known as [Yongsantoo] until retirement, based in Maibara locomotive depot near Hokuriku Main Line Tamura It was used as a dead section contact for.
[actual car]
- The DD50 type diesel locomotive is Japan's first trunk line diesel locomotive.
- The power transmission system is an electric type that combines a 1050PS engine and a generator.
-Because it was a single cab and the traction force was insufficient with a single machine, it was mainly operated in a double operation in which two cars were connected back to back.
- 3 primary cars built in 1953.
- Three secondary cars were manufactured in 1954, the following year, with a square front design and a skirt attached, which changed the impression significantly.
- When it first appeared, it was a grape color No. 2 with a white belt, but around 1964, the upper half of the car body was repainted in Vermilion No. 4, and the lower half was repainted in the standard diesel locomotive color of Gray No. 1.
