    History

    edit

    The line was built and opened by an independent railway company, Shigi-Ikoma Electric Railway (信貴生駒電鉄, Shigi Ikoma Dentetsu) in 1929.[citation needed] The company aimed to build a line to connect its main line, the present-day Ikoma Line, but cancelled the plan for financial reasons, and transferred the operation to Keihan. The operator was renamed Katano Electric Railway (交野電気鉄道, Katano Denki Tetsudō) in 1939, Keihanshin Express Electric Railway (京阪神急行電鉄, Keihanshin Kyūkō Dentetsu) in May 1945, and Keihan Electric Railway on 1 December 1949.[2]

    From 9 June 2012, new 13000 series 4-car EMUs were introduced on the line.[3]
