1067 Mm Gauge Railways In Japan
1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Railway Lines Opened In 1933
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport that transfers passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are incorporated in tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles (rolling stock) are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run. Tracks usually consist of steel rails, installed on sleepers (ties) set in ballast, on which the rolling stock, usually fitted with metal wheels, moves. Other variations are also possible, such as "slab track", in which the rails are fastened to a concrete foundation resting on a prepared subsurface. Rolling stock in a rail transport system generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, so passenger and freight cars (carriages and wagons) can be coupled into longer trains. The operation is carried out by a railway company, providing transport between train stations or freight customer faciliti ...

List Of Railway Lines In Japan
List of railway lines in Japan lists existing railway lines in Japan alphabetically. The vast majority of Japanese railways are classified under two Japanese laws, one for and another for . The difference between the two is a legal, and not always substantial, one. Some regional rails are classified as ''kidō'', while some light rails are actually ''tetsudō''. There are also other railways not legally classified as either ''tetsudō'' or ''kidō'', such as airport people movers, ''slope cars'' (automated small rack monorails), or amusement park rides. Those lines are not listed here. According to the laws, ''tetsudō/kidō'' include conventional railways (over ground or underground, including subways), as well as maglev trains, monorails, ''new transit systems'' (a blanket term roughly equivalent to people mover or automated guideway transit in other countries), '' skyrails'' (automated small cable monorails), trams, trolleybuses, guideway buses, funiculars (called "cable c ...

Chūō Main Line
The , commonly called the Chūō Line, is one of the major trunk railway lines in Japan. It connects Tokyo and Nagoya, although it is the slowest direct railway connection between the two cities; the coastal Tōkaidō Main Line is slightly faster, and the Tōkaidō Shinkansen is currently the fastest rail link between the cities. The eastern portion, the , is operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East), while the western portion, the , is operated by the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). The dividing point between the two companies is , where express trains from both operators continue to the Shinonoi Line towards the cities of Matsumoto and Nagano. Compared to the huge urban areas at either end of the Chūō Line, its central portion is very lightly traveled; the Shiojiri-Nakatsugawa corridor is only served by one limited express and one local service per hour. The Chūō Main Line passes through the mountainous center of Honshu. Its highest point (near ) ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
