The Kishu Railway Line (紀州鉄道線, Kishū Tetsudō-sen) is a railway line in Japan, running from Gobō Station to Nishi-Gobō Station. The railway line is located entirely within Gobō, Wakayama. It is the only remaining private railway line in Wakayama Prefecture that is entirely non-electrified, and is the second-shortest railway line in Japan.

Overview

The railway line is operated by Kishu Railway (紀州鉄道, Kishū Tetsudō), and is also referred to by locals as Kitetsu (紀鉄), which is an abbreviation of the company's name. It is the only line operated by the company, as the company mostly focuses in the real estate and hotel sectors. The current Tokyo-based company, which was previously not a railway operator, took over the line in 1973 in order to gain the prestige and trust associated with operating a railway line.[1][2][3] The railway is the second shortest railway line in service in Japan, the shortest being the Shibayama Railway.

Additional basic data

Operation

Trains stop at all stations along the line. The entire line is single-track, and none of its railway stations have passing loops. The railway depot for the line is located adjacent to Kii-Gobō Station. Most trains are timetabled to allow for onward connections to the Kisei Main Line trains at Gobō.[4]

History

The Gobō Rinkō Railway (御坊臨港鉄道, Gobō Rinkō Tetsudō, "Gobō Portside Railway") opened the 1.8 km section from Gobō to Kii-Gobō section on 15 June 1931, extended 0.9 km to Nishi-Gobō on 10 April 1932, and to Hidakagawa on 10 August 1934.[7]

The Gobō Rinkō Railway became the Kishu Railway from 1 January 1973.[7] The 0.7 km section from Nishi-Gobō to Hidakagawa closed on 1 April 1989.[7]

Type of high-energy supernova in very large stars When a star is very massive, the gamma rays produced in its core can become so energetic that some of their energy is drained away into production of particle and antiparticle pairs. The resulting drop in radiation pressure causes the star to partially collapse under its own huge gravity. After this violent collapse, runaway thermonuclear reactions (not shown here) ensue and the star explodes. A pair-instability supernova is a type of supernov...
