[RC2-1] EF64-1000 in JR Freight's revised refurbished livery (Okayama Depot).
In 2003, JR Freight started refurbishing and upgrading it's EF64-1000s.
They initially recieved the light blue-white livery identical to the refurbished EF64-0s, but due to complaints from the maintainance staff about visually distinguish them from refurbished EF65-1000s, a new livery based on blue and white with diagonal lines and a red JRF logo (dubbed the "milk carton" by railway enthusiasts) was introduced on the units of Takasaki Depot.
Okayama Depot instead applied a simplified livery based on the original JNR standard blue of non-refurbished units, with white lower cab fronts, logos and side line, retaining only the mustard-colored cab doors of the original refurbished livery.
A "milk carton" livery of Takasaki Depot units.

[RC2-7] EF64 35 Euroliner - JR Central Joyful Train
The Euroliner was a Joyful train operated by JR Central from 1987 to 2005.
Originally planned in the very last years of JNR, it was composed of 14-series coaches in a variable composition between 5 and 10 cars.
It ran on the Chuo Main Line, the Tokaido Line and the (non electrified) Ida line.
A few locos were designated to haul this train, namely EF64 35 and 66, EF65 105, 106 and 112 and DD51 791 and 1037, all fitted in a matching livery.
The Euroliner was the first example of an expres train with all-uniform livery shared between the locomotive and the coaches.
It was withdrawn in 2005 following a decrease in ridership. The carriages were scrapped and the locomotives retuned to their original colors, except a few (such as the EF64 35) that carried the white and blue color well into the 2010s, usually assigned to work trains or charter specials.
[RC2-8] EF71 series AC electric locomotive
The special of this reskin collection.
The EF71 series locomotive was introduced in 1968 following the electrification in 20 000 V AC (50Hz) of the Ou Main Line between Yamagata and Yonezawa.
It was designed to haul heavy express passenger trains (and occasionally local ones) on the Itaya Pass, with a gradient of 33‰.
It was an en-longed variant of the ED75 Bo-Bo locomotive introduced in 1963, but with added a center bogie ( making it Bo-Bo-Bo ), a front cab door and other improvements for the harsh winter climate of northern Honshu.
In 1990, with the openin of the Yamagata shinkansen, classical express passenger trains were not needed anymore, so some EF71s were provisionally transferred to the Tohoku Main Line in 1991 and then retired definitely in 1993.
EF7 1 is stored at Rifu Shinaknsen Maintainance Center in Rifu (Miyagi Prefecture) along a few other historical locomotives previously used in the Tohoku area.
Trivia:
Following the opening of the Yamagata Shinkansen, the series 50 local passenger carriages of Akita depot (such as the ones in the image above) became surplus and were later converted into KiHa 141 series DMUs for JR Hokkaido in 1990.
