The Miyafuku Line (å®®ç¦ç·š Miyafuku-sen) is a railway line of Kitakinki Tango Railway in Kyoto Prefecture, Japan. Trains on the line are operated by Willer Trains Inc. as part of its Kyoto Tango Railway system.
History
Building of the line was approved in 1953, with construction commencing in 1966, but being suspended in 1980 due to the financial constraints being experienced by JNR at the time.
In 1982 the Miyafuku Railway Co. was established to recommence construction, which resumed the following year.
The line opened in 1988, featuring 10 tunnels, including the 3215-meter FukÅ Tunnel, the 2175-meter Shimoamazu Tunnel and the 2103-meter Tochiba Tunnel. The following year the company renamed itself the Kitakinki Tango Railway.
The line was electrified in 1996 to enable through running with the JR Fukuchiyama Line.
On April 1, 2015, the train operation business of Kitakinki Tango Railway was transferred to Willer Trains, Inc., which named the railway system the Kyoto Tango Railway.[1] At this time, the name of Atsunakatonya Station was changed to Fukuchiyama-shimin-byÅin-guchi Station.[2] The name of the line was not changed.
