Fuji Minobu Railway Class 210

The Fuji Minobu Class 210 was a Japanese DC electric locomotive operated by the Fuji Minobu Railway and later the Japanese National Railways from June 1928 to 1973.
==History==
The Class 210 was an early electric locomotive used in Japan. Five locomotives were manufactured in June 1928 by Hitachi for the Fuji Minobu Railway; these entered service the same year. These were mainly used to pull freight trains and were numbered 210 through 212.
With the Fuji Minobu Railway's nationalization on 1 May 1941, the locomotives were acquired by the Japanese National Railways, reclassified as the JNR Class ED21 and renumbered ED21 1 through ED21 3. On the JNR, they were used on the Iida and Ōito Lines. ED21 2 would be loaned to the Sangi Railway to transport construction materials for the Kurobe Dam. ED21 1 was scrapped in 1959, while ED21 2 and 3 were withdrawn in 1973.
No ED21s have been preserved.
==Specifications==
The Class 210 used a nose suspension drive system. MT37 traction motors were used on the locomotives. Regenerative braking was fitted on the locomotives.
