    History

    edit

    The Hikone to Yokaichi section opened in 1898, reaching Kibukawa in 1900. The Hikone to Takamiya section was electrified at 600 V DC in 1925, with the Takamiya to Kibukawa section electrified at 1,500 V DC in 1928, and the Hikone to Takamiya section raised to that voltage at the same time. The Hikone to Maibara section opened in 1931 following the construction of the 340 m Sawayama Tunnel, electrified from opening.[citation needed]

    Transport of postal items ceased in 1984, and freight services ceased in 1988.[citation needed]

    Rapid train services were introduced in 2003, but were discontinued in 2013.[citation needed]
