Shintetsu Kobe Kosoku Line

The Shintetsu Kobe Kosoku Line is one of two lines owned by the Kobe Rapid Transit Railway. It is operated by Kobe Electric Railway and has only two stations. This short stretch of track, opened in 1968 is important as it connects the Arima Line to Shinkaichi, allowing Shintetsu passengers to transfer directly to Hankyū and Hanshin trains bound for Kobe Sannomiya and Umeda (Osaka), and Sanyo line trains bound for Himeji. As it is only used by Shintetsu rolling stock, the line is narrow-gauge.
