From the 1960s, D51 locomotives began to be retired as electrification and dieselisation progressed. However, many remained in service until the final years of steam operation in Japan. During the 1960s and 1970s, they were particularly prominent on steeply graded lines such as the Sekihoku Main Line, Tōhoku Main Line, Ōu Main Line, and Hakubi Line, often operating in double- or triple-headed configurations.
