JR Freight Class EF210

The JR Freight Class EF210 is a DC electric locomotive operated by the Japan Freight Railway Company since December 1997. 
== History == 
The EF210 is a B-B-B DC electric locomotive operated by JR Freight; it is a mainstay of the JR Freight fleet, replacing the EF65 and similar locomotives in this regard.
The first locomotive, EF210-901, was manufactured in March 1996 and entered service in December 1997. Mass-production locomotives began production in July 1998. Since then there have been three different subseries of the EF210, the -0, -100 and -300 subseries locomotives. Specification changes were made to the locomotives over production.
The locomotives are branded ECO-Power Momotaro; these were the first JR Freight locomotives to feature a nickname. All future locomotives operated by JR Freight have nicknames except the EH800.
==Specifications==
The locomotives use Mitsubishi GTO or IGBT variable frequency drives and a nose suspension drive system; all locomotives produced after the EF70 would use a nose suspension drive system. The locomotives use FMT4 squirrel cage induction traction motors.
