Fukushima Kōtsū Iizaka Line
The is a railway line connecting Fukushima Station (Fukushima), Fukushima Station with the onsen town of Iizaka, Fukushima, Iizaka at Iizaka Onsen Station, all within Fukushima, Fukushima, Japan. It is commonly called or locally. This is the only railway line operated by Fukushima Transportation, as the company's main business is bus transport. History 1920s The Iizaka Line's history can be traced back to August 1921 and the founding of which changed its name to before the end of the year. The section of tramway track between Fukushima Station (Fukushima), Fukushima and Iizaka Station (present-day Hanamizuzaka Station, Hanamizuzaka) opened on 13 April 1923. Later on in the year the company was renamed . The track was soon extended, and in 1927 the present-day Iizaka Onsen Station became the new terminus with Iizaka Station's name being changed to Hanamizuzaka. 1927 also saw merger of Iizaka Electric Railway with . 1940s–1980s Izumi Station (Fukushima), Izumi Station o ...

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. However, electrically powered single-unit railcars are also generally classed as EMUs. The vast majority of EMUs are passenger trains but versions also exist for carrying mail. EMUs are popular on intercity, commuter, and suburban rail networks around the world due to their fast acceleration and pollution-free operation, and are used on most rapid-transit systems. 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 ...

Buffer Stop
A buffer stop, bumper, bumping post, bumper block or stopblock (US), is a device to prevent Railroad car, railway vehicles from going past the end of a physical section of Track (rail transport), track. The design of the buffer stop is dependent, in part, on the kind of couplings that the railway uses, since the Railway coupling, coupling gear is the first part of the vehicle that the buffer stop touches. The term "buffer stop" is of Italian origin, since railways in Italy principally use Buffers and chain coupler, buffer-and-screw couplings between vehicles. Types Several different types of buffer stop have been developed. They differ depending on the type of coupler used and on the intended application. * Buffer stops with anticlimbers. These are particularly important for passenger railway applications, because the anticlimbers reduce the likelihood of Telescoping (railway), telescoping of the Passenger car (rail), railroad cars during a head-on impact. * Buffer stops for ...

Tokyu 1000 Series
The is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Tokyu Corporation on the Tokyu Ikegami Line, Tokyu Ikegami and Tokyu Tamagawa Line, Tokyu Tamagawa lines in Japan since 1988. Design Based on the earlier Tokyu 9000 series design, the 1000 series trains were built for use on through-running services to and from the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. Cars are 18 metres long and have three pairs of doors per side. Operations Three-car sets have operated on the Tokyu Ikegami Line since 1993. Four-car sets formerly operated on the Tokyu Mekama Line (present-day Tokyu Tamagawa Line and Tokyu Meguro Line), and eight-car formations formerly operated on the Tokyu Toyoko Line, with through-running to and from the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line. The former were reformed as three-car sets, and the latter were taken out of use from 15 March 2013. From May 2014, former eight-car Tokyu Toyoko Line sets were reformed into three-car sets and refurbished for use on the To ...

Rail Yard
A rail yard, railway yard, railroad yard (US) or simply yard, is a series of Track (rail transport), tracks in a rail network for storing, sorting, or loading and unloading rail vehicles and locomotives. Yards have many tracks in parallel for keeping rolling stock or unused locomotives stored off the main line (rail), main line, so that they do not obstruct the flow of traffic. Cars or wagons are moved around by specially designed yard switcher locomotives (US) or shunter locomotives (UK), a type of locomotive. Cars or wagons in a yard may be sorted by numerous categories, including railway company, loaded or unloaded, destination, car type, or whether they need repairs. Yards are normally built where there is a need to store rail vehicles while they are not being loaded or unloaded, or are waiting to be assembled into trains. Large yards may have a Centralized traffic control, tower to control operations. Many yards are located at strategic points on a Main line (railway), main ...

Abukuma Express Line
The is a railway line in Japan, owned and operated by the third-sector operator Abukuma Kyuko. The line connects Fukushima Station in Fukushima Prefecture and Tsukinoki Station in Miyagi Prefecture. Both of these stations are also on the Tōhoku Main Line operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Station list History The line first opened on 1 April 1968 as the , operated by Japanese National Railways (JNR) between Tsukinoki and Marumori. The original plan was to create a bypass route to relieve overcrowding on the Tōhoku Main Line The Tōhoku Main Line () is a railway line in Japan operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The line starts from Tokyo Station in Chiyoda, Tokyo and passes through such cities as Saitama, Saitama, Saitama, Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Uts ..., but work to extend the line was suspended following the quadrupling of tracks on the Tōhoku Main Line. In September 1981, the line was proposed for possible closure. Ownership of th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ōu Main Line
The is a railway line in Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It connects Fukushima Station (Fukushima), Fukushima Station through Akita Station to Aomori Station. Since the opening of the Yamagata Shinkansen on July 1, 1992, the Fukushima–Yamagata section (as well as the Yamagata–Shinjō section since 1999) is sometimes referred to as the Yamagata Line. The name of the line as a whole refers to the ancient provinces of Japan, provinces of Mutsu Province, Mutsu () and Dewa Province, Dewa (), as it connects both ends of Mutsu by passing north–south through Dewa.

Yamagata Shinkansen
The is a Mini-shinkansen route in Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It provides service between Tokyo and Shinjō in Yamagata Prefecture over the tracks of the Tohoku Shinkansen and the Ōu Main Line. The term Yamagata Shinkansen refers to the segment that connects Fukushima and Shinjō. Because the shinkansen trains share tracks with local trains running on , it is often referred to as a "mini-shinkansen". Operations Trains consist of 7-car E3 and E8 series trainsets operating as '' Tsubasa'' services. Between and Fukushima, some trains run coupled to '' Yamabiko'' trains on the Tōhoku Shinkansen. Between Fukushima and Shinjō, the trains run on their own at a maximum speed of and share the line with regular Ōu Main Line trains. As of July 2012, about 62 million passengers had ridden the line since it opened in July 1992. The fastest trains connect Tokyo and Yamagata stations in two hours and 29 minutes.
