Hachinohe Rinkai Railway Line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hachinohe Rinkai Railway Line (八戸臨海鉄道線, Hachinohe Rinkai Tetsudō-sen^?) is a Japanese freight only railway line between Hachinohe Freight Station and Kitanuma Station, all within Hachinohe, Aomori. This is the only railway line of the Hachinohe Rinkai Railway (八戸臨海鉄道, Hachinohe Rinkai Tetsudō^?, "Hachinohe Seaside Railway"). The third sector company (in Japanese sense) took the former industrial railway line by the prefecture in 1970, built for Port of Hachinohe.
