CONTAINER SERVICES ARE by far the main employment for the remaining JR Freight (JRF) ED75-1000 Bo-Bo 20kV ac electric locomotives based out of Sendai depot in Northern Japan. On July 20th, 2009, No. 1010 powers a southbound intermodal through the bleak surroundings of Rikuzen-Sanno station, in Miyagi Prefecture (just north of Sendai itself).
