Ina Electric Railway Class DeKi 10

The Ina Electric Railway Class DeKi 10 was a Japanese DC electric locomotive operated by the Ina Electric Railway and later other railway companies from 1927 to 1976.
==History==
The Class DeKi 10 was an early electric locomotive used in Japan. One locomotive was manufactured in June 1927 for the Ina Electric Railway; it was numbered 10. The locomotive's mechanical components were manufactured by the Mitsubishi Shipyards and its electrical components by Mitsubishi Electric. The locomotive's design was essentially a domestic copy of a number of electric locomotives manufactured by the Westinghouse Electric Corporation around that time for various private railways. Throughout its entire career the locomotive was stationed at Ina-Matsushima and operated on the Iida Line.
With the Ina Electric Railway's nationalization in 1943, the locomotive was acquired by the Japanese National Railways; it initially operated with no changes in numbers or classification, though it received voltage-boosting modifications to allow it to handle the 1,500 V DC current of the JNR as opposed to the 1,200 V DC current of the Ina Electric Railway. The locomotive was reclassified as the JNR Class ED32 with vehicle naming regulations coming into force in 1952 and renumbered ED32 1. ED32 1 was withdrawn from service on the JNR in February 1960 and resold to the Gakunan Railway along with ED29 1; it operated there with no change in number and was used to pull freight trains and perform switching duties. When part of the line was deemed inaccessible due to floods, the locomotive was left at Gakunan-Enoo Station; it would not operate even after that section of the line reopened and was scrapped in 1988.
