    The Shinano Railway Kita-Shinano Line (しなの鉄道北しなの線, Shinano Tetsudō Kita-Shinano-sen) is a 37.3 km (23.2 mi) railway line operated by the third-sector railway operating company Shinano RailwayinNagano Prefecture, Japan, since 14 March 2015 following the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension north of Nagano and transfer of operations of the former Shinetsu Main Line from East Japan Railway Company (JR East). It connects Nagano Station in Nagano with Myōkō-Kōgen StationinMyōkō, Niigata.[1]

    Service outline

    [edit]

    All services on the line are all-stations "Local" (普通, Futsū) driver-only operation trains. From the start of operations on the line, there are 21 return workings daily between Nagano and Jōetsumyōkō, and three return workings daily between Nagano and Toyono, an increase in two return services daily compared with JR East operations prior to March 2015.[1] A small number of services continue to and from Komoro on the Shinano Railway Line operated by the same company south of Nagano.[1] In addition to Shinano Railway services, JR East Iiyama Line through-running services to and from Nagano also use the section of the line between Nagano and Toyono.[1] At Myōkō-Kōgen, the northern end of the line, a cross-platform transfer is provided to the Echigo Tokimeki Railway Myōkō Haneuma Line continuing northward along the former Shinetsu Main Line, with Shinano Railway trains normally using platform 2 and Echigo Tokimeki Railway trains normally using platform 3.[1]
