[Introduction of actual cars]
The Shinetsu Main Line between Yokogawa and Karuizawa (Usui Pass) is a section with a steep gradient of 66.7 ‰ (per mil). It was a special system called the Apt-type, in which a pinion gear is installed in the center of the car body, and it meshes with the rack rail in the center of the train track to climb the hill.
The ED42 was manufactured in 1934 as a replacement for the conventional ED40.
In the basic operation, it was a set of four cars connected with three cars on the Yokogawa side and one car on the Karuizawa side and it was operated with passenger cars and other vehicles in between.
At the end of the period, there was a combination with the Kiha 82 series and the Kiha 57 series.
In 1963, the Apt-type was discontinued and it became normal adhesion operation, and it was replaced with the successor EF62 and 63, and all of them retired.
