The entire line opened on 17 July 1921 as an electrified, dual-track, 1,372 mm (4 ft 6 in) gauge branch line. On 10 October 1959, the line was regauged to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) in conjunction with the regauging of the Main Line.
Stations
All trains are local trains that stop at all stations.
The local train on the line stops at every station. In the daytime, trains from Keisei Tsudanuma to Chiharadai station and Shin-Keisei through service trains from Matsudo to Chiba-Chuo runs at 20 minute intervals. On the Keisei Chiba Line, trains operate with a 10 Minute interval.
All trains are at most 6 cars long, due to the platform length restriction at the intermediate stops between Keisei Tsudanuma Station and Keisei Chiba Station.
4 car trains were abolished due to a timetable revision on December 8, 2018.[1]There's also trains to and from Keisei Ueno Station that directs the main line in part of the morning and evening, but all sections are set only for normal stops at each station. In the morning, the up (keisei tsudanuma direction) is set at the same 10-minute interval as during the day, and the down (towards Chiba Chuo) is set every 6 to 10 minutes.
The direction curtain and destination display of the train to Chiharadai on the Chihara Line are "(Chiba) Chiharadai" (line breaks in front of Chiharadai), but LED display cars and Shin-Keisei Electric Railway vehicles are written as "Chiharadai".[incomprehensible]
