Itsukaichi Line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Itsukaichi Line (五日市線 Itsukaichi-sen?) is a railway line of JR East in Tokyo, Japan. It links Musashi-Itsukaichi Station, in the part of the city of Akiruno that was previously the separate town of Itsukaichi, with Haijima Station in the city of Akishima. From there, most trains travel further via the Ōme Line tracks to Tachikawa Station, and a few continue from Tachikawa along the Chūō Line to Tokyo Station. The segment from Itsukaichi to Haijima measures 11.1 km in length. The gauge is 1067 mm. Trains operate on 1500 V electricity.
