Steam Locomotive EX Vol.61 - E10 Story (Icarus MOOK)

The first feature is "The Story of the E10." While designed as a helper locomotive for steeply sloping lines, the E10 was moved around from place to place due to issues such as the advancement of electrification, its minority status, and usability. This feature looks back on the last newly manufactured steam locomotive of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) from its inception to its demise, with former members and documents tracing the locomotive's journey, particularly its use over the Kurikara Pass on the Hokuriku Main Line and its use on AC/DC junctions in its final years.

Other articles include "Iron Horses and Soldiers" by Toshiyuki Shiibashi, documenting the San'in Line, Fukuchiyama Line, and Bantan Line by former members of the Fukuchiyama Locomotive Depot and Toyooka Locomotive Depot, and a supplement to "The Profile and History of the C61." The feature on revived steam locomotives includes the final interview with Akira Shirai, who passed away in February, and a look back at the time of the Oigawa Railway steam locomotive's revival. It also features a report on the ongoing repair work on the boiler of JR West's C571, currently undergoing repair work.
