Nishikigawa Railway Nishikigawa Seiryū Line

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nishikigawa Seiryū Line (錦川清流線, Nishikigawa Seiryū-sen^?, "Nishiki River Limpid Stream Line") is a Japanese railway line between Kawanishi and Nishikichō stations, all within Iwakuni, Yamaguchi. As the name suggests, the line runs along Nishiki River (錦川, Nishiki-gawa^?). This is the only railway line Nishikigawa Railway (錦川鉄道, Nishikigawa Tetsudō^?) operates. The third sector company (in Japanese sense) took former West Japan Railway Company (JR West) line in 1987. The company also operates bus lines and a travel agency.
