|} The or Nagoya Line is a railway line operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu), connecting Toyohashi Station in Toyohashi with Meitetsu Gifu in Gifu. Since its amalgamation in 1944 (see History section) this has been the Meitetsu main line. Many branch lines of Meitetsu have through services to/from the Nagoya Line. Toyokawa, Nishio, Tokoname (which has its through services with Airport, Kōwa, Chita), and Inuyama lines all have through services bound for Meitetsu Nagoya, making the segment around that station extremely busy. Between Biwajima Junction and Kanayama, 26 trains proceed per hour, even during off-peak periods. All the stations accept manaca, a Smart card. The line largely parallels the Tōkaidō Main Line in the Chūkyō Metropolitan Area (Greater Nagoya). Local traffic on the Nagoya Line used to be much heavier than on the Tōkaidō Main Line, but since the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR), transforming into the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) in this area, competition has become more significant in the Chūkyō area. Due to historical reasons, the line shares its track between Hirai Junction and Toyohashi Station with the JR Iida Line. The agreement between two companies prohibits Meitetsu to have more than 6 trains in one direction per hour on the 3.8 km of shared tracks. Consequently, local trains are unable to reach Toyohashi, instead, terminate at Ina Station. ==Basic data== *Distance: 99.8 km (approx. 62.0 mi.) *Stations: 60 *Gauge: *Track: * *Quadruple: Jingū-mae to Kanayama * *Double: Hirai Signal Box to Jingū-mae, Kanayama to Meitetsu Gifu * *Single: Toyohashi to Hirai Signal Box (A shared track with JR Iida Line, virtually double-tracked) *Electric supply: 1,500 V DC *Block system: Automatic *Maximum speed at service: 120 km/h (85 km/h between Toyohashi and Hirai Signal Box.) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
