Branch line : ウィキペディア英語版
Branch line

A branch line is a secondary railway line which branches off a more important through route, usually a main line. A very short branch line may be called a ''spur line''. David Blyth Hanna, the first president of the Canadian National Railway, said that although most branch lines cannot pay for themselves, they are essential to make main lines pay.〔Hanna, David Blyth, Macmillan 1924〕〔Dow, Andrew, ''Dow's Dictionary of Railway Quotations'', JHU Press 2006〕
==United Kingdom==

Many British branch lines were closed as a result of the "Beeching Axe" in the 1960s, although some have been re-opened as heritage railways.
The smallest branch line that is still in operation in the UK is the Stourbridge Town Branch Line from Stourbridge Junction going to Stourbridge Town. Operating on a single track the journey is 0.8 miles (1.3 kilometres) long and the train takes around two and a half minutes to complete its journey.
