What kind of loco is this? (JNR)

It's from a humor website, and taken out of context, but what kind of engine is that?

Looks to me like a photoshop job. I've never seen anything like it in North America.

It's a Japanese train, actually. But yes, it has been photoshopped.


It is of the JNR 151 series, used on the Kodama trains. Here is a link to the Kinkisharyo website which features an image of a 151 series unit in the lead...

Best image I could find on as reputable of a site as I could find. Hope that answers your question.

Nash? Studebaker? DeSoto? All of the above?
