Keihin–Tōhoku Line

(Redirected fromKeihin-Tōhoku Line)

TheKeihin–Tōhoku Line(Japanese:Kinh bang đông bắc tuyến,Hepburn:Keihin-tōhoku-sen)is a railway line in Japan which connects the cities ofSaitama,Kawaguchi,Tokyo,Kawasaki,andYokohama.It is part of theEast Japan Railway Company(JR East) network. The line's name is derived from the characters for Tokyo (Japanese:ĐôngKinh), Yokohama (Japanese:HoànhBang) and theTōhoku Main Line(Japanese:Đông bắcBổn tuyến). The line runs parallel with theTōkaidō Main LinebetweenYokohamaandTokyoand theUtsunomiya Line(part of theTōhoku Main Line) except betweenUenoandAkabanestations where the two lines are physically separate and thus alternate routes.

Route map

Most Keihin–Tōhoku Line trains have a through service onto theNegishi Linebetween Yokohama and Ōfuna stations. As a result, the entire service between Ōmiya and Ōfuna is typically referred to as the Keihin-Tōhoku–Negishi Line (Japanese:Kinh bang đông bắc ・ căn ngạn tuyến) on system maps and in-train station guides. Keihin–Tōhoku–Negishi Line trains are recognizable by their light blue stripe (the line's color on maps is also light blue).

Service outline

edit

Trains run every 2–3 minutes at peak hours, every 5-6 minutes during the daytime, and less frequently the rest of the time. In general, these trains are classified as "Local"(Các dịch đình xa,Kakueki-Teisha),stopping at all stations en route. However, all trains in the daytime (10:30-15:30) are classified as "Rapid"(Khoái tốc,kaisoku).These rapid trains skip some stations in central Tokyo, where the Keihin-Tōhoku Line runs parallel to theYamanote Line.

Station list

edit
  • Local trains stop at all stations. Rapid trains stop at stations marked "●" and "■". (Stations marked "■" allow cross-platform transfers to the Yamanote Line). Additionally, stations marked "▲" are served by rapid trains on weekends and national holidays only.

History

A test train on the Keihin Line at Yurakucho Station around 1914

The line opened on 20 December 1914 as an electrified passenger line connectingShinagawa Stationin Tokyo withTakashimacho StationinYokohama.[8](The latter station was renamedYokohama Stationin August 1915, when the former Yokohama Station was renamedSakuragicho Station).[8]It was originally called the Tokaido Electric Line (Japanese:Đông hải đạo điện xa tuyến) and was subsequently renamed to the Keihin Line (Japanese:Kinh bang tuyến).[8]From 30 December 1915, services were extended south to the new Sakuragicho Station.[8]

The Keihin Line service was extended north via theTohoku Main LinetoAkabane Stationin February 1928, and toŌmiya Stationin September 1932.[8]

The Keihin Line initially had third-class and second-class cars, analogous to today's ordinary cars and Green Cars respectively. Second-class service ended in 1938 in order to accommodate special military cars during theWorld War II.The military seating was converted to seating for women and children after the war, and back to ordinary seating in 1973 amid overcrowding concerns: second-class service was briefly restored in the 1950s but abandoned shortly thereafter.[citation needed]

Morning peak on the Keihin-Tohoku andYamanote LinesatUeno Station

From November 1956, the Keihin-Tohoku Line was physically separated from theYamanote Linebetween Tamachi and Tabata, allowing more frequent service.[8]Through service with the Negishi Line began on 19 May 1964.[8]10-car trains (103 series) began operating from 1 April 1966.[8]

Limited-stop "Rapid" services were introduced in 1988 to further ease congestion along the Yamanote Line corridor.[citation needed]From 14 March 2015, all rapid services began servingKanda Station.Additionally, rapid services began servingOkachimachi Stationon weekends and national holidays only.[9]

On 20 August 2016, station numbering was introduced with stations being assigned station numbers between JK12 and JK47.[10][11]Numbers increase towards in the northbound direction towards Omiya.

A new station, theTakanawa Gateway Station,[12]opened on 14 March 2020, in time for the2020 Summer Olympicsto be held in Tokyo.[13]The station is located on theYamanote Lineand Keihin-Tohoku Line betweenShinagawaandTamachistations.[14]The distance between Shinagawa and Tamachi stations was 2.2 km (1.4 mi).[14]Takanawa Gateway was constructed on top of the 20-hectare former railyard, which is undergoing rationalization and redevelopment by JR East. The Yamanote Line and the Keihin Tohoku Line tracks were moved slightly to the east to be aligned closer to theTokaido Shinkansentracks. The area on the west side of the yard made available will be redeveloped with high-rise office buildings, creating an international business center with connections to the Shinkansen and Haneda Airport.[14]

Accidents

edit

At around 01:11 in the morning of 23 February 2014, an empty stock train operating from Sakuragicho to Kamata hit a track maintenance vehicle on the track close toKawasaki Station.[15]The first two cars of the 10-car E233 series train derailed, with the first car ending up on its side.[16]The train was carrying no passengers, and the driver and conductor escaped with minor injuries.[17]
