The EF510-500 series is an AC/DC electric locomotive that was introduced in 2009 to replace the EF81 series at JR East Tabata Depot, which was used to pull the sleeper express trains "Hokutosei" and "Cassiopea" and freight trains. A total of 15 cars were introduced, 13 in the Hokutosei color with a blue body and gold stripes and shooting stars on the sides, and 2 in the Cassiopeia color with a silver body and five-color shooting stars on the sides. However, with the discontinuation of regular service of the "Hokutosei" and "Cassiopea", all of the cars were transferred to JR Freight by 2016.

Although the transferred EF510-500 series no longer has the decorations on the sides of the body, it continues to be used in its original blue and silver paint along with the red EF0 series. It is mainly used on the Japan Sea Longitudinal Line, where the EF81 series was previously used, and in recent years it has been used in an expanded range of areas, such as the Chuo-Nishi Line and the Tokaido-Sanyo Main Line up to Okayama.
