The Kintetsu Yoshino Line (近鉄吉野線 Kintetsu Yoshino-sen?) is a railway line in Nara Prefecture, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Kintetsu Corporation. It connects Kashihara-Jingūmae in Kashihara and Yoshino in Yoshino. All Express and Limited Express trains continue to and from Ōsaka Abenobashi Station on the Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line.
History
The Yoshino Railway (吉野鉄道?) Co. opened the Yoshino - Muda section in 1912, and extended the line to Kashiharajingū-mae in 1923, electrifying the entire line at 1500 VDC at that time.[1]
In 1929 the company merged with the Osaka Electric Railway Co., which merged with Kintetsu in 1944.
Freight services ceased in 1984, and CTC signalling was commissioned in 2001.
