Railway Stations In Japan Opened In 1992
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport using wheeled vehicles running in tracks, which usually consist of two parallel steel rails. Rail transport is one of the two primary means of land transport, next to road transport. It is used for about 8% of passenger and freight transport globally, thanks to its energy efficiency and potentially high speed.Rolling stock on rails generally encounters lower frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, allowing rail cars to be coupled into longer trains. Power is usually provided by diesel or electric locomotives. While railway transport is capital-intensive and less flexible than road transport, it can carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo with greater energy efficiency and safety. Precursors of railways driven by human or animal power have existed since antiquity, but modern rail transport began with the invention of the steam locomotive in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the 19th ...

Station Numbering
Station numbering is a sign system which assigns station codes consisting of a few letters and numbers to train stations. It aims to facilitate navigation for foreign travelers not familiar with the local language by using globally understood characters ( Latin letters and Arabic numbers). The system is now in use by various railway companies around the world such as in mainland China, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and the United States. History Station numbering was first introduced—but to less fanfare—in South Korea, by the Seoul Metropolitan Subway in 1983 as a section of Seoul Subway Line 2 ( Euljiro 1-ga to Seongsu) was opened. Its first usage in Japan was in the Nagasaki Electric Tramway where it was introduced in May 1984."History of Nagasaki Electric Tramway line transition", ''Stadtbahn'' issue 9, April 1984 The Tokyo subway system introduced station numbering in 2004.
