Negishi Line
The Negishi Line (Japanese: 根岸線, romanized: Negishi-sen) is a Japanese railway line which connects Yokohama and Ōfuna stations. It is operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Freight trains also operate on this line, and it is essential for the southern Keihin region.
The Negishi Line does not exist as an independent service. All trains operate a through service onto the Keihin-Tōhoku Line past Yokohama to Kamata, Tokyo, Minami-Urawa and Ōmiya. As a result, the entire service between Ōmiya and Ōfuna is typically referred to as the Keihin-Tōhoku—Negishi Line (Japanese: 京浜東北線・根岸線) on system maps and in-train station guides. Keihin-Tōhoku Line—Negishi Line trains are recognizable by their light blue stripe (the line's color on maps is also light blue).
Some Yokohama Line trains to/from Hachiōji or Hashimoto travel onto the Negishi line and terminate/originate at Sakuragicho, with a small number of AM & PM Peak services continuing to/from Isogo or Ofuna.
All trains on the Negishi Line are local trains, stopping at all stations. Between approximately 09:30 & 14:30 trains display Rapid, as they omit some stops in Central Tokyo on the Keihin-Tohoku Line portion of the service.
During the daytime, trains operate every 10 minutes between Yokohama and Ofuna, and every 5-10 minutes between Yokohama and Isogo.
The Hamakaiji limited express service also formerly operated on the Negishi Line until the service ceased operating on January 3, 2019.
Freight trains are a common sight on the Negishi Line. The following rail companies either link up to or use the Negishi Line for the purpose of transporting freight.
The oldest station on the line is Sakuragichō, which was opened by the Japanese Government Railways on June 12, 1872 as the first railway terminal in Yokohama of the first railway line in Japan. The line was extended to Kōzu on July 11, 1887; trains had to reverse direction at Yokohama via a switchback to continue their journey. This was alleviated by a bypass line between Kanagawa and Hodogaya which opened on August 1, 1898. The branch was named the Tōkaidō Main Line Branch Line on October 12, 1909.
