[edit] History
Modernization of the route began in the 1980s. Railway signal system changed to CTC and electrification to Fukuchiyama was completed in 1986.
On April 25, 2005, a seven-car Rapid Service bound for Doshisha-Mae on the Gakkentoshi Line derailed and crashed between Tsukaguchi and Amagasaki (see: Amagasaki rail crash). Operations on the affected part of the line remained suspended until trial runs began on June 7, 2005. Passenger service resumed on June 19, 2005.
