Gantoku Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Gantoku Line (岩徳線, Gantoku-sen?) is a railway line operated by West Japan Railway Company in western Japan connecting Iwakuni Station in Iwakuni, Yamaguchi Prefecture and Kushigahama Station in Shūnan, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Trains running on this line continue from Kushigahama Station to Tokuyama Station in Shūnan.
This line has somewhat steep slopes and long tunnel segments as this line was originally established as a shortening of the Sanyō Main Line along the old San'yōdō. It thus runs more closely parallel to the Sanyō Shinkansen than the Sanyō Main Line.
