The '''Japeri Line''' is a [[commuter rail]] line operated by [[SuperVia]].

==History==
The line begins in [[Central do Brasil]] station and ends in [[Japeri station]], where it's possible to transfer to trains of [[Paracambi Line]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://casafluminense.org.br/estacoes-de-trem-historia-conta-nosso-passado-em-trilhos/|title=Estações de Trem - a história conta nosso passado em trilhos|website=Casa Fluminense|language=pt|date=19 November 2017|access-date=12 January 2021}}</ref>

Due to the lower train fare when compared to intermunicipal buses running similar routes, it is the line with the highest demand, especially in station which connect the [[Baixada Fluminense]] with the [[Rio de Janeiro#North Zone|North Side]], the [[Rio de Janeiro#West Zone|West Side]] and the [[Centro, Rio de Janeiro|Center]] of the city of [[Rio de Janeiro]]. The demand is high between the first five stations of this line and [[Central do Brasil]], representing a significant amount of trips in the system.

On weekdays before 9 PM, all of the Japeri Line trains circulate between [[Central do Brasil]] and [[Deodoro station]] as express. There are daily departures between [[Central do Brasil]] and [[Nova Iguaçu station]] during peak hours, so as to offer more comfort in critical hours. .<ref>{{cite web|url=https://diariodotransporte.com.br/2020/06/07/supervia-promove-mudancas-na-operacao-dos-trens-a-partir-desta-segunda-08/|title=SuperVia promove mudanças na operação dos trens a partir desta segunda (08)|website=Diário do Transporte|language=pt|date=7 June 2020|access-date=12 January 2021}}</ref>

The average headway during peak hours is 10 minutes.

The route is the longest of all [[SuperVia]] lines and the one with the longest acceleration time of the trains between [[Engenheiro Pedreira station|Engenheiro Pedreira]] and [[Japeri station|Japeri]], with 5 to 7 minutes of acceleration, and reaching speeds above {{convert|80|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}.

The [[Central do Brasil|Dom Pedro II]]-[[Japeri station|Japeri]] line is the initial branch of the defunct Center Line of [[Estrada de Ferro Central do Brasil|Central do Brasil Railway]]. The stretch between [[Japeri station|Japeri]] and [[Monte Azul]], [[Minas Gerais]] is currently operated only for cargo trains.
