Senri-Chuo Station

The Kita-Osaka Kyūkō Railway (北大阪急行電鉄, Kita Ōsaka Kyūkō Dentetsu^?) is a railway operator of Osaka, Japan. The sole line named Namboku Line (南北線, Namboku sen^?) is actually an extension of the Midōsuji Line Osaka Municipal Subway. It was opened on February 24, 1970, to connect the then northern terminus of the Midōsuji Line, Esaka Station, to the grounds of the Expo '70. The Expo link was removed on September 14, and the line was redirected to a new underground terminal of Senri-Chūō Station.

Kitakyū, as it is often abbreviated, also owns various commercial and residential properties along the line.
