The EH200 class of electric locomotives are Bo-Bo+Bo-Bo wheel arrangement two-unit DC freight locomotives operated by JR Freight in Japan.

The locomotives are built at the Toshiba factory in Fuchū, Tokyo. They are all based at Takasaki depot, and are primarily used on oil tank trains north of Tokyo and on the steeply-graded Chūō Main Line and Shinonoi Line, replacing pairs of EF64s.

As of 1 April 2009, the fleet totalled 21 locomotives (EH200-901 and EH200-1 to EH200-20). Three EH200 locomotives are scheduled to be delivered during fiscal 2009, with two more scheduled for fiscal 2010.

Famous quotes containing the words freight and/or class:

    These have been wonderful years. How many happy, happy times we have traveled about together! Day and night, in stage coaches, on freight trains, over the mountains and across the prairies, hungry and tired, we have wandered. The work was sometimes hard and discouraging but those were happy and useful years.
    Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)

    Sometimes I think that idlers seem to be a special class for whom nothing can be planned, plead as one will with them—their only contribution to the human family is to warm a seat at the common table.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
