Japanese: かつて関西本線と阪和線を結ぶ連絡線として通称「阪和貨物線」「阪和連絡線」と呼ばれる八尾駅-杉本町駅間の支線があり、JR西日本の旅客営業キロ11.3kmが設定されていた（八尾-久宝寺間は本線と重複で実際は久宝寺-加美間から分岐）。

English: In response to voices requesting to the electrification of Kameyama Station (Mie Prefecture)-Kamo Station (Kyoto Prefecture) section and operate direct trains to Osaka/Nagoya, municipal governments along the line are requesting the electrification of this section by organizing "Association for promoting double-track and electrification of the Kansai Main Line's Nara-Kameyama section" etc..
Japanese: 閑散区間である亀山駅(三重県)-加茂駅(京都府)の間を電化し、大阪や名古屋まで電車を直通させてはどうかという声があり、沿線の自治体は「関西本線奈良亀山間複線電化促進同盟」などの団体を結成してこの区間の電化を要望している。
English: By electrifying the line, residents' commuting and travelling can enjoy more convenience and the increase of tourists can be expected for Kasagi Station, Iga-Ueno Station and Seki Station (Mie Prefecture).
Japanese: 電化によって通勤や移動が便利になり、笠置駅や伊賀上野駅、関駅(三重県)では新たな観光需要が生まれることも期待されている。
English: On the other hand, not a few people argue that there is no reason to promote electrification while sharing the construction cost on the grounds that the Meihan National Route, which is free of fare, runs side by side with the line and the Iga Line of Iga Railway Company as well as highway buses are being operated from Iga City, which is located in this section, to Osaka/Nagoya.
Japanese: 一方で、この区間は通行料不要の名阪国道も並行しており、この区間にある伊賀市からは伊賀鉄道伊賀線や大阪・名古屋への高速バスも走っていることから、あえて地元が資金を負担してまで電化する理由を見いだせないのではないか、との意見も多い。
English: Further, it is said that although historical spots or old streets are located in the surrounding area of stations that are expected to attract tourists, these areas are not well-prepared as tourist spots, unlike Kurokabe Square in Nagahama City, and new tourism demands may not be created by electrifying the line under the current situation (the main reason for Nagahama's success was its efforts as a tourist spot and direct running of Special Rapid from Keihanshin (Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe) contributed only indirectly).
Japanese: また、観光需要を見いだせるとされる駅の周辺も歴史に縁があったり古い町並みが残ってはいるが、長浜市の黒壁スクエアのような観光地としての整備が不十分で、現状のままでは電化しても新たな観光需要は生まれない、とされる（長浜が成功したのも観光地としての徹底した整備が主因であり、京阪神からの新快速が直通したことは間接的影響に過ぎない）。
English: Obama Line refers to the railway (local line) in West Japan Railway Company (JR West) from Suruga station in Suruga city, Fukui prefecture to Higashi-Maizuru station in Maizuru city, Kyoto prefecture.
Japanese: 小浜線（おばません）は、福井県敦賀市の敦賀駅から京都府舞鶴市の東舞鶴駅に至る西日本旅客鉄道（JR西日本）の鉄道路線（地方交通線）である。

Higashi-Maizuru station is under direct jurisdiction of West Japan Railway Company (JR West) Fukuchiyama Branch).
Japanese: ※両端の駅を除き西日本旅客鉄道金沢支社小浜鉄道部の管轄である（なお、敦賀駅は同支社福井地域鉄道部が管理。東舞鶴駅は西日本旅客鉄道福知山支社直轄）。
English: As there are many bathing beaches and there are tourist sites like Mikatagoko Lake along the line, the line is regarded as one of resorts and tourism line, but it is also used as the line of commuters and some sections are very crowded in the morning and evening.
Japanese: 沿線には海水浴場が多く、三方五湖といった観光地を控えていることから行楽・観光路線となっているが、沿線の通学としても利用されており、朝夕は一部区間で混雑が激しい。
English: Obama Line was wholly opened on December 20, 1922, which enabled the Hokuriku Line and the Sanin Line to be connected, and commemoratively 'Exhibition of opening whole railroads for Japan Sea coastal areas and the Shin-Maizuru-ko Port' was held in Higashi-Maizuru for 40 days from April 1 to May 10 in 1923 (The total number of visitors was 179,982).
Japanese: 小浜線は1922年12月20日に全通したが、これをもって北陸・山陰両線の連絡がなり、これを記念して東舞鶴において「裏日本鉄道全通・新舞鶴港開港記念博覧会」が1923年4月1日から5月10日までの40日間開催された（入場者総数179,982人）。
English: The line was electrified in 2003 and a new type of vehicle was also introduced by using the reserve fund of local governments as well as anonymous contributions and all expenses were paid by the locals.
Japanese: 2003年に鉄道の電化されたが、これは匿名の寄付に加え、地元自治体の積立した資金を利用し、新型車両の導入も合わせて全額地元負担で実現した。
English: Recently, it has been superseded in convenience by the express bus route of Kintetsu Bus Co., Ltd, whose departure and arrival is in Osaka city, and the Jakko Line (West Japan JR Bus Company) connecting with the Special Rapid train at Omi-Imazu station.
Japanese: 近年は大阪市内発着の近鉄バスの高速バス路線や近江今津駅で新快速に接続する若江線（西日本ジェイアールバス）に利便性などで押されている。
English: When DC electrification was done up until Suruga station, the direct line trains from the Hokuriku Main Line or the Kosei Line are expected to be set up.
Japanese: 沿線では敦賀まで直流電化されたのを機に北陸本線や湖西線からの直通列車の設定に期待している。
English: At each station, the boarding positions for wheel-chairs and for the train which runs without conductors on board are differently set because the number of seats on Suburban Trains Series 125 was increased in late 2003 and it became difficult for wheel-chairs to move around in the vehicle.
Japanese: 各駅にはワンマン運転列車用のほか、車椅子専用の乗車位置が別途に設けられているが、これは2003年暮れに125系の座席増設改造を行い、車椅子での車内移動が困難になったためである。
English: The official starting point is Tsuruga station, but when driving trains, the train from Higashi-Maizuru station to Tsuruga station is on the down line and the reverse is on the up line.
Japanese: 正式な起点は敦賀駅だが、列車運行上は東舞鶴駅から敦賀駅へ向かう列車が下り、逆方向が上りとなっている。
English: This is because they met the direction for the Hokuriku Main Line connecting at Tsuruga station and the Maizuru Line connecting at Higashi-Maizuru station.
Japanese: これは、敦賀駅で接続する北陸本線、東舞鶴駅で接続する舞鶴線に方向をあわせたためである。
English: There is no special express train or express train in regular service, but until around 2007, the limited express train 'Maizuru (train)' running between Kyoto and Higashi-Maizuru temporarily ran to Obama station extensionally.
Japanese: 定期運転の特別急行列車・急行列車はないが、2007年頃までは京都-東舞鶴間の特急「まいづる(列車)」が小浜駅まで臨時に延長運転されていたことがあった。
English: Approximately one local train runs per one to two hours, but there are some time zones where no train runs for nearly three hours between Obama station and the Higashi-Maizuru region.
Japanese: 普通列車はおおむね1-2時間に1本程度の運転だが、小浜駅から東舞鶴方面は3時間近く列車がない時間帯がある。
English: A part of the train starts from Nishi-Maizuru station on the Maizuru Line, but until October 20, 2006, they were directly connected with the Maizuru Line and JR Sanin Main Line and some of them ran to Ayabe station and Fukuchiyama station.
Japanese: 一部の列車が舞鶴線西舞鶴駅を始発としているが、2006年10月20日までは舞鶴線・山陰本線と直通運転を行い綾部駅・福知山駅に乗り入れる列車もあった。
English: The last train starting from Tsuruga station at night ran as a rapid train, but according to the timetable revision on March 14, 2009, it was changed to a local train and the service in the ghost station was largely improved.
Japanese: 夜の敦賀発の最終列車は快速列車として運行されていたが、2009年3月14日のダイヤ改正で再び普通列車に格下げされ、無人駅における大幅な改善が図られる。
English: As for all the ghost stations on the line, which serially opened after the war (the early 1960s), even some of the local trains did not stop at them until the late 1990s because the users decreased (such stations included Nishi-Tsuruga station, Higashi-Mihama station, Kiyama station, Fujii station, Wakasa-Arita station, Seihama station and Mitsumatsu station).
Japanese: 戦後（昭和30年代後半）立て続けに開業した同線内の無人駅すべてに言えることだが、利用者僅少という事情とあいまって1990年代後半までは、普通列車でも通過する列車が何本かあった（西敦賀駅・東美浜駅・気山駅・藤井駅・若狭有田駅・勢浜駅・三松駅がこれに該当）。
English: Before the electrification, many trains coming from the Tsuruga region had two to four vehicles, and separated the vehicles at Obama station and the front vehicle went to Higashi-Maizuru (for four years since 1992, also on the train for Amanohashidate running without conductors on board, the notice 'Be careful to not be on the wrong train' was announced) and sometimes the back two vehicles returned to Tsuruga, but after the electrification, mostly one to two vehicles were used and were not cut off at Obama station.
Japanese: 電化以前は2-4両での運用が多く敦賀方面から来た列車が、小浜駅で列車の切り離しを行い前1両は東舞鶴行き（1992年から4年間は天橋立行き、ワンマン運転時にも「お乗り間違いのないようにご注意ください」の注意放送がなされた）になり、後2両は折り返し敦賀行きになるパターンもあったが、電化以降は1-2両の運用がほとんどで小浜駅での列車切り離しもなくなった。
English: However, Suburban Trains Series 125, which were additionally in service when the DC electrification was done in the Kohoku region on the Hokuriku Main Line, came to be commonly used with the local trains in the DC electrification section and thus the organization was strengthened and travel with two vehicles has increased.
Japanese: しかし、北陸本線の湖北地区が直流化した際に増備された125系電車が北陸本線の直流化された区間の普通列車と共通運用されるようになったために、編成が増強されたことにより2両での運行が増えている。
English: Once, Obama Line was used also as the route linking the Hokuriku region, the Chukyo-area with the Sanin region, and the express train 'Hashidate (train),' going through the Obama Line and the Kitakinki Tango Railway Miyazu Line, ran between Kanazawa and Izumo city from 1964 to 1982 and between Nagoya and Izumo city from 1966 to 1982, and it ran between Fukui and Amanohashidate from 1982 to 1992.
Japanese: かつて小浜線は、北陸地方・中京圏方面と山陰地方を結ぶルートとしても利用され、1964年から金沢-出雲市間に、1966年から名古屋-出雲市間に小浜線・北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮津線経由の急行「はしだて(列車)」が1982年まで、福井-天橋立間に「はしだて(列車)」が1982年より1992年まで運行されていた。
English: And until October 1999, the express train 'Hashidate (train)' ran between Kyoto, Higashi-Maizuru and Tsuruga (the direct line to Kyoto was until 1996), but after the electrification, the higher category trains disappeared.
Japanese: また、1999年10月まで京都・東舞鶴-敦賀間（京都直通は1996年まで）に急行「はしだて(列車)」が運転されていたが、その後電化されるまで優等列車の運転はなくなっていた。
English: After the electrification, however, just a part of them temporarily went to Obama station on holidays as mentioned before and they are not in a full-fledged regular service.
Japanese: ただし、電化後は前述の通り休日などに小浜駅に一部が臨時で乗り入れていただけで本格的な定期運用はない状況である。
English: Originally the shortest route between Tsuruga and Kyoto was by way of the Kosei Line, but the direct line going through Tsuruga was not set up and instead the direct line going through the Maizuru Line and the Sanin Main Line was set up, because it met the coming and going from Kyoto, Osaka region to the west of Wakasa region and it also undertook the local transportation on the Obama Line (for example, we can raise the local trains directly linking Tsuruga with Fukuchiyama or the express train 'Tango' and so on, whose departure and arrival was in Kyoto and which ran as a local train eastward from Higashi-Maizuru, that is, on the Obama Line).
Japanese: そもそも、敦賀-京都間は湖西線経由が最短ルートなのに、敦賀経由の直通列車は設定されず、舞鶴線・山陰本線経由で直通列車を設定していたのは、京都・大阪方面から若狭地方西部への出入りに対応したのと、小浜線内の地域輸送とを兼用したためである（例として敦賀-福知山間を直通していた普通列車や、東舞鶴以東つまり小浜線内が普通列車となる京都発着の急行「丹後」などが挙げられる）。
English: The shortest route between Obama and Higashi-Maizuru is by way of the Sanin Main Line and the Maizuru Line and most of the passengers from the Kyoto and Osaka region, who visited Wakasa-Takahama and Wakasa-Hongo region, came and went from the Higashi-Maizuru side.
Japanese: 小浜-東舞鶴間は京都から山陰本線・舞鶴線経由が最短ルートで、京都・大阪方面から若狭高浜・若狭本郷方面へのほとんどの乗客は東舞鶴側から出入りしていた。
English: And in the season of sea bathing, special trains from the Osaka and Kyoto area used the line more than now.
Japanese: なお、海水浴シーズンに大阪・京都方面から臨時列車が現在よりも多数乗り入れていた。
English: JR Tokai's express train 'Hashidate' (train) going on the line from the Nagoya area was scheduled.
Japanese: 名古屋方面からもJR東海の乗り入れ急行列車「はしだて(列車)」が設定されていた。
English: The TV novel series 'Chiritotechin' (morning drama series) was broadcast from October 2007 to March 2008 and in the drama Obama Line appeared several times, and as the of number of tourists was expected to increase, special rapid trains ran between Tsuruga and Higashi-Maizuru, between Higashi-Maizuru and Obama (the regular train for Tsuruga from Obama) and special local trains ran between Obama and Wakasa-Takahama (the extension of the regular train from Tsuruga), between Wakasa-Takahama and Tsuruga only on Saturdays and holidays during the broadcast.
Japanese: 2007年10月から2008年3月まで連続テレビ小説「ちりとてちん(朝ドラ)」が放送され、本編内でも幾度か小浜線が登場するほか、観光客の増加が見込まれるため、放送期間中の土曜と休日のみ敦賀→東舞鶴間、東舞鶴→小浜間（小浜から敦賀行き定期列車）で臨時快速、小浜→若狭高浜間（敦賀発定期列車の延長）、若狭高浜→敦賀間で臨時普通列車の運転が行われた。
English: After April 2008 when the broadcast was over, three of them, except for the trains running from Obama to Wakasa-Takahama, continuously ran only on Saturdays and holidays (however, the trains from Wakasa-Takahama to Tsuruga were changed to the ones from Obama to Tsuruga).
Japanese: 放送終了後の2008年4月以降も、小浜→若狭高浜の列車を除く3本が6月1日までの土曜と休日限定で運行が継続された（ただし若狭高浜→敦賀の列車は小浜→敦賀になった）。
English: Also in the year 2009, only on Saturdays and holidays from April 4 to May 31, these special trains ran.
Japanese: また2009年度も4月4日から5月31日までの土曜・休日限定で、これらの臨時列車が運行されることになった。
English: The up line, Tsuruga – Awano – Mihama – Mikata – Tomura – Kaminaka – Higashi-Obama – (between Obama and Higashi-Maizuru, trains stop at every station).
Japanese: 上り敦賀-粟野-美浜-三方-十村-上中-東小浜-（小浜-東舞鶴は各駅に停車）
English: SL Wakasa' by Kokutetsu C56 Steam Locomotive 160 ran between Tsuruga and Obama.
Japanese: -蒸気機関車国鉄C56形蒸気機関車160号による「SLわかさ号」を敦賀-小浜で運転。
English: "Kaya Tetsudo" refers to the railway which connected Tango Yamada Station (the present Nodagawa Station of Kitakinki Tango Railway Miyazu Line) located at Nodagawa Town (the present Yosano Town), Yosa County, Kyoto Prefecture, with Kaya Station located at Kaya Town (the present Yosano Town) in the Yosa County.
Japanese: 加悦鉄道（かやてつどう）は京都府与謝郡野田川町（現・与謝野町）の丹後山田駅（現北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮津線野田川駅）から、同郡加悦町（現・与謝野町）の加悦駅までを結んでいた私鉄である。
English: At first, the line was opened mainly for transporting Tango "chirimen" (silk crepe, which was the specialty produced in the area along the line) to the "Keihanshin area" (the area including Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe), and the line also provided passenger traffic service.
Japanese: 当初は沿線の特産品である丹後ちりめんを京阪神地区に輸送することを主目的として開業し、旅客営業も行った。
English: Afterward, mining of nickel was begun on Oe-yama mountain range, which was located to the southwest of Kaya Station, and so, in 1940, the railway to the mine, exclusively used for freight transportation, was opened.
Japanese: その後、加悦駅の南西にある大江山でニッケルの採掘が開始されたため、1940年（昭和15年）に大江山鉱山への貨物専用鉄道が開業した。
English: In 1942, an industry track was also opened, which connected Tango Yamada Station with the nickel refinery (Nippon Yakin Kogyo Co., Ltd's Oe Factory), located at Iwataki Town (the town to the northeast of Tango Yamada Station).
Japanese: 1942年（昭和17年）には丹後山田駅から北東の岩滝町にある精錬所（日本冶金大江工場）への専用線も開通した。
English: After World War Ⅱ, mining of nickel on Oe-yama mountain range was ended, and so, the industry track between Kaya Station and Oe-yama Mine Station was removed, although the legal procedure of the abolition was put off until the whole operation of Kaya Railway was ended.
Japanese: 戦後、大江山でのニッケル採掘が中止されたため加悦-大江山間の専用線は撤去（ただし、法的には加悦鉄道廃止まで廃止手続きは取られていない）された。
English: Nevertheless, the industry track to the factory at Iwataki Town continued its operation to transport the nickel ore that was imported from abroad and refined at the factory.
Japanese: ただ、岩滝工場への専用線は同工場で精錬する輸入ニッケル鉱を輸送するため存続した。
English: Meanwhile, Kaya Tetsudo attracted many fans, because it was known as the storehouse of rare and novel trains, such as the classic steam locomotive produced in the Meiji and Taisho periods, the train made up of wooden two-axle coaches called 'matchbox,' and JNR/JR Diesel Cars Series Kiha 08 purchased from the Japan National Railways (JNR).
Japanese: その一方、明治・大正時代に製造された古典蒸気機関車をはじめ、「マッチ箱」と呼ばれる木造2軸客車、国鉄から購入した客車改造の国鉄キハ08系気動車など希少車・珍車の宝庫として知られ、多くのファンを集めた。
English: Soon the company came to make efforts, such as sales of train-related goods, to make itself an attractive railway.
Japanese: 会社側もやがて観光鉄道を目指すようになり、グッズ類の販売等にも力を入れるようになった。
English: However, on March 14, 1985, the freight transportation on the Miyazu Line was ended with the change of the timetable of JNR, so nickel transportation via the railway was ended.
Japanese: しかし、1985年（昭和60年）3月14日の国鉄ダイヤ改正で宮津線の貨物輸送が廃止され、同線でのニッケル鉱輸送が不可能となった。
English: This meant that the commission of transportation, which occupied 60 % of all railway income, would be lost, and its deficits were expected to increase greatly, so the whole operation of the railway was ended on May 1 of that year.
Japanese: これにより、鉄道収入の6割を占めていた専用線の輸送業務委託料が失われ、赤字額の大幅な増大が見込まれたため、同年5月1日に全線が廃線された。
English: Incidentally, even before the railway operations were ended, Kaya Railway Co., Ltd. (the company that ran the railway) entered not only the route bus business, but also - uniquely for a railway company - the business of automobile maintenance and repair and the business of construction.
Japanese: なお、運営会社の加悦鉄道株式会社は鉄道廃止以前から路線バスの運行のみならず、鉄道会社の事業展開としては異色の自動車整備業、建設業を営んでいた。
English: After the railway operation was ended, the company changed its name into Kaya Kosan Co., Ltd. and did business such as managing 'Kaya Steam Locomotive Square,' which are facilities for preserving and exhibiting cars of the train.
Japanese: 廃止後にはカヤ興産株式会社と社名を変更し、鉄道保存展示施設「加悦SL広場」の運営なども行っていた。
English: When the company was founded, it was involved in the transportation of nickel ore, so it is an affiliated company of Nippon Yakin Kogyo Co., Ltd, and therefore these two have the same company crest.
Japanese: 会社設立時のニッケル鉱輸送の関連から、日本冶金工業のグループ会社である（社紋についても両社共通）。
