The JNR Class EF81 is a six-axle electric locomotive of the Bo-Bo-Bo wheel arrangement, built to run under both alternating and direct current so that one machine can work across the differently electrified lines of Japan. It entered service in 1968 on passenger and freight trains, and the class was eventually numbered at 161 units according to the infobox of its article. The prototype, EF81 1, was built by Hitachi and delivered in 1968, and Hitachi also built the stainless steel EF81-300 subseries for services through the Kanmon Tunnel to Kyushu as well as the EF81-500 locomotives for JR Freight. Later subclasses were created by rebuilding and renumbering, and as of April 2016 a total of 44 were still in service with JR Freight, JR East and JR West, while four examples are preserved.
