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 ...

Electric Multiple Unit
An electric multiple unit or EMU is a multiple-unit train consisting of self-propelled carriages using electricity as the motive power. An EMU requires no separate locomotive, as electric traction motors are incorporated within one or a number of the carriages. An EMU is usually formed of two or more semi-permanently coupled carriages, but electrically powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as EMUs. The great majority of EMUs are passenger trains, but versions also exist for carrying mail. EMUs are popular on commuter and suburban rail networks around the world due to their fast acceleration and pollution-free operation. Being quieter than diesel multiple units (DMUs) and locomotive-hauled trains, EMUs can operate later at night and more frequently without disturbing nearby residents. In addition, tunnel design for EMU trains is simpler as no provision is needed for exhausting fumes, although retrofitting existing limited-clearance tunnels to accommodate the ...
