The Tōbu Keishi Line (東武啓志線 Tōbu Keishi-sen?) was a 6.3 km freight railway line operated by Tobu Railway, which ran from Kami-Itabashi Station on the Tōbu Tōjō Line, initially to a Japanese Army arsenal depot. Following the arrival of USAF forces, the area was converted to the Grant Heights USAF housing complex (present-day Hikarigaoka in Tokyo, Japan).
The line opened in 1943 as a freight-only line, and following the opening of the USAF housing complex, a passenger service was introduced in December 1947, with through services operated to and from the Tojo Line terminus at Ikebukuro, but ceased in February 1948.[1] The line closed on 22 July 1959.[1]
