Kinjō-futō Station
The is a Public-Private_Partnerships_In_Japan, third-sector commuter railway line in the city of Nagoya operated by the . Officially called the , it connects Nagoya Station with Kinjō-futō Station. The line was formerly a freight branch line of Tokaido Main Line, converted for passenger usage in October 2004. It is still operated as a freight line by Japan Freight Railway Company between Nagoya and Nagoya Freight Terminal; thus, the section between Nagoya and Arako Station is used for both passenger and freight traffic. Since its opening in 2017, the Aonami Line is used as the main rapid transit access to Legoland Japan Resort and SCMaglev and Railway Park, both located nearby the terminus. The line's name is a combination of the company's color ''ao'' ("blue"), ''na'' for Nagoya, and ''mi'' for Minato-ku, Nagoya, Minato ward. As two words, ''ao nami'' can also be read as "blue waves." Stations There are two services on the line: Local and Non-stop. Non-stop services only s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Commuter Rail
Commuter rail or suburban rail is a Passenger train, passenger rail service that primarily operates within a metropolitan area, connecting Commuting, commuters to a Central business district, central city from adjacent suburbs or commuter towns. Commuter rail systems can use locomotive-hauled trains or multiple units, using electric or diesel propulsion. Distance charges or zone pricing may be used. The term can refer to systems with a wide variety of different features and service frequencies, but is often used in contrast to rapid transit or light rail. Some services share similarities with both commuter rail and high-frequency rapid transit; examples include German S-Bahn in some cities, the Réseau Express Régional (RER) in Paris, the Milan S Lines, S Lines in Milan, many Japanese commuter systems, the East Rail line in Hong Kong, and some Australasian suburban networks, such as Sydney Trains. Many commuter rail systems share tracks with other passenger services and Cargo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Central Japan Railway Company
is the main railway company operating in the Chūbu (Nagoya) region of central Japan. It is officially abbreviated in English as JR Central and occasionally as JR Tokai (). The term ''Tōkai'' refers to the southern portion of Central Japan, the geographical region in which the company chiefly operates. JR Central's operational hub is Nagoya Station and the company's administrative headquarters are located in the JR Central Towers above the station. The busiest and longest railway line operated by JR Central is the Tōkaidō Main Line between and . The company also operates the Tōkaidō Shinkansen between and . Additionally it is responsible for the Chūō Shinkansen — a maglev service between Tokyo and Osaka, which is due to start operation between Tokyo and Nagoya in 2034. JR Central is Japan's most profitable and highest throughput high-speed-rail operator, carrying 138 million high-speed-rail passengers in 2009, considerably more than the world's largest a ...

Nanpō Freight Line
The is a railway line in Nagoya Japan. Intended to increase capacity by connecting Nagoya Freight Terminal Station with Kasadera Station and Ōbu Station, work on it was suspended before completion. It was constructed not by the Japan Railway Construction Public Corporation, but by Japanese National Railways (JNR) itself. Line Data * Length: 26 km (from Nagoya Freight Terminal Station to Ōbu Station) * Electrification: complete, 1500 V DC * Dual track: full line * Triple track: from Nagoya Freight Terminal Station to crosspoint with Nagoya Minato Line History Between 1965 and 1975, JNR was transporting a large portion of the nation's freight. In the Nagoya area, slow freight trains were interfering with passenger service, and as a result, a plan was sought to provide a separated line to carry freight traffic. As Sasajima Station, the city's main freight terminal just south Nagoya Station, became too small, freight was to move south to a new site. The Nanpō F ...

Japanese National Railways
The , abbreviated JNR or , was the business entity that operated Japan's national railway network from 1949 to 1987. Network Railways As of June 1, 1949, the date of establishment of JNR, it operated of narrow gauge () railways in all 46 prefectures of Japan. This figure expanded to in 1981 (excluding Shinkansen), but later reduced to as of March 31, 1987, the last day of JNR. JNR operated both passenger and freight services. Shinkansen Shinkansen, the world's first high-speed railway was debuted by JNR in 1964. By the end of JNR in 1987, four lines had been constructed: ; Tōkaidō Shinkansen: , completed in 1964 ; Sanyō Shinkansen: , completed in 1975 ; Tōhoku Shinkansen: , as of 1987 ; Jōetsu Shinkansen: , completed in 1982 Buses JNR operated bus lines as feeders, supplements or substitutions of railways. The JR Bus companies are the successors of the bus operation of JNR. Ships JNR operated ferries to connect railway networks separated by sea or to meet other ...

One-person Operation
One-person operation (OPO), also known as driver-only operation (DOO), one-man operation (OMO), single person train operation (SPTO), or one-person train operation (OPTO), similarly to driver-controlled operation, is operation of a train, bus, or tram by the driver alone, without a conductor. On one-person operated passenger trains, the engineer must be able to see the whole train to make sure that all the doors are safe for departure. On curved platforms a CCTV system, mirror or station dispatch staff are required. Although extra infrastructure such as cameras and mirrors might require additional investment, one-person operation is usually faster and cheaper to implement than automatic train operation, requiring a smaller investment in, for example, platform intruder detection systems and track protection (fencing, bridge-caging, CCTV etc.). In some cases, one-person operation can be seen as an intermediate step towards automatic train operation. While European freight tra ...

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 ...
