Following the demise of EF200-1 (last year or year before? Couldn't find previous post to link to), today at Suita depot I spotted at least one (EF200-11) ready to be cut up and possibly a second already reduced to the frames. They were difficult to spot as deep within the depot and hidden by buildings and the cutter's truck. However, without trespassing, I managed to get the attached pictures although not the best as were taken on full zoom (virtually the length of the site) and with considerable heat haze as in the 30's (deg C) today with high humidity. Are more of the EF200 stud due to go the same way...? I did see both EF200-8 and -15 hauling freight on the Sanyo today and -14 having its tyres turned elsewhere in Suita but none looked in the best of condition or upkeep.
