Some trains run from Ōami to Narutō (In Japanese is 成東(Kanji),なるとう(Hiragana)), and some run through to/from Chiba Station via the Sotobō Line. Every morning, a Local train runs from Narutō to Tokyo Station via the Sotobō and Keiyō lines. Every evening, a Local train runs from Tokyo to Narutō via the same route as the one in the morning. As of 16 March 2024, all Commuter Rapid and Rapid services operating through to/from the Keiyō Line were replaced by Local trains.[1]
The line was electrified (at 1,500 V DC overhead) from 1 October 1973,[2] CTC signalling was commissioned the following year, and freight services ceased in 1999.
Former connecting lines
