That's another two hours of my life gone. It was a switcher built by Nippon Sharyo (日本車輌製造) and operated by Nippon Express (日本通運) for Nippon Paper Industries (日本製紙) at the Kitaoji freight station (北王子貨物駅) which was about 6km NW of downtown Tokyo and closed in 2014. An 18-story apartment block now occupies the site.
This line is featured in a 2020 video by Suzukawa showing the changes at the line.
The 2020 video is a follow up to the 2013 video which was recorded before the closure of the line.
