 The steam engine is a Japanese National Railways 9600-class locomotive, built from 1913 to 1925.
These were among the very LAST steam locomotives working in Japan when the railway system dieselized entirely by early 1976. This one was probably very old, doing branch line freight hauling in Hokkaido, and on its final legs when they blew it up for the movie.

(The steam locomotive isn't an JNR example and never saw Hokkaido, it was Yubari Colliery and Railway No. 21, an 1941 "21 series" from Kawasaki and was the last of the 9600's to be built. The 21 series replaced the 11 series and ran the line until March of 1975 when the line closed. It was bought by Toei for 2 million yen and all of it's scenes were filmed on the Yubari line around June 1975)
(First pic below is it and 25 operating the line, both have since been preserved)

 JNR did not co-operate with the production.

Quote Filming took 40 days.[6] Two bullet train car sets and one Tokyo Station platform set were created for the film.[6] Because the JNR did not provide any help, Sato said the toughest parts were the shots from the train windows and the engineer's cabin. They had a cameraman ride the train and secretly film footage that they used via blue screen.[6] They were also refused permission to film the control room containing all of the train schedules. So Sato said they had a foreign actor lie to the JNR saying he was a German train engineer to gain access and secretly film the room so they could then build their own.[6] Miniature sets were used, particularly for the scene where two trains pass each other by in Hamamatsu. The special effects department rented a snorkel camera to shoot that specific scene, which cost around a million yen a day.[6]

 As Gag already mentioned, JNR infamously didn't help with the production of this film and instead constantly did the opposite. Other things they did were:

When negotiations were held with both JNR and Toei, JNR wanted to change the name of the film (The Shinkansen's Big Explosion) to avoid bad PR.
Originally JNR was going to help Toei with filming the movie, until they stopped with 80% of their cooperation of the film during February 1975, and by April they had fully pulled out support for the film (this was the reasoning behind the models used in the final film, they weren't allowed to be near any of the real O-Series Shinkansen's).
They also had to build their own full-scale Shinkansen's interior, which delayed production aswell

Wikipeida wrote
Because they had to hold meetings, the JNR never answered questions right away, which caused production to fall a month behind schedule. As a result, Sato said they had to stay up all night in their final week and Toei approved what was basically the finished version without any notes because there was no time left
