History
[edit]TheJapanese Government Railways(JGR) opened the Osaka – Kobe section of what is now theTokaido Main Linein 1874 as a dual track line.
TheKawabeHorsecarRailway(Xuyên biên xe ngựa thiết nói,Kawabe Bashatetsudō)opened a 762mm gauge line between Amagasaki and Itami (about 8 km (5.0 mi)) in 1891. In 1893, the horsecar railway was reorganized asSettsu Railway(Nhiếp tân thiết nói,Settsu Tetsudō),which introducedsteam powerto the railway and extended the line to Ikeda.
The Settsu Railway was merged byHankaku Railway(Phản hạc thiết nói,Hankaku Tetsudō),which had a plan to build a railway between Osaka andMaizuru.The Hankaku Railway converted the line to 1067mm gauge and extended it to Takarazuka in 1897 and to Fukuchiyama in 1899. The company also connected the line to the Kanzaki Station (present-day Amagasaki Station) of theJGR linein 1898 making the line to the original Amagasaki terminal a branch. Hankaku Railway was nationalized on August 1, 1907.
The Amagasaki – Tsukaguchi section was duplicated in 1934, and extended to Takarazuka in 1979/80. The Takarazuka – Shin-Sanda section was duplicated in 1986 in conjunction with the opening of the 2,970 m (9,744 ft) Najio tunnel and associated deviation, which shortened the route by 1.8 km (1.1 mi). Duplication to Sasayamaguchi was completed in 1996.
The Amagasaki – Tsukaguchi section was electrified in 1956, and extended to Takarazuka in 1981. The remainder of the line was electrified in 1986.
CTC signalling was commissioned between Fukuchiyama and Sasayamaguchi in 1982, extended to Hirono in 1984 and to Amagasaki in 1986.
The branchline between Amagasakikō Station (former Amagasaki terminal of the horsecar railway) and Tsukaguchi Station ceased passenger operation in 1981 and freight operation in 1984.
Former connecting lines
[edit]- Sanda station – TheArima Line,a 12 km line to Arima operated from 1915 to 1943.
- Sasayama-guchi station – The Sasayama Railway, a 5 km (3.1 mi) line to Sasayama-Chō opened in 1915. The private railway was discontinued in 1944 when theSasayama Lineof theJapanese Government Railwaysopened. The Sasayama Line closed in 1972.
- Fukuchiyama station – The Hokutan Railway Co. operated a 12 km line to Koumori between 1923 and 1971.
