The EF62 Late Stage Simonoseki Engine Depot was in service on the Tokaido/Sanyo mainlines. It used to be operated as the main locomotive on the Shines mainline, well known for Usui Pass. When freight train service over the pass was abolished in 1984, 26 engines of the model were transferred to Shimonoseki Engine Depot to replace the EF58 on the Tokaido/Sanyo mainlines. They were seen used in various ways, sometimes pulling freight trains and extra passenger trains.
