Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway
Encyclopedia : K : KI : KIT : Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway
The Kita-Osaka Kyuko Railway (北大阪急行電鉄, Kita Osaka Kyuko Dentetsu) is an extension of the Osaka Municipal Subway Midosuji Line. It was opened on February 24, 1970, to connect the line's northern terminus at the time, Esaka Station, to the grounds of the Japanese International Exposition. The Expo link was closed on September 14, and the line was redirected to a new underground terminal in Senri, Senri-Chuo Station.
Although the railway was originally built by Hankyu Railway with a significant government subsidy, it is now independent. Kitakyu, as it is often abbreviated, also owns various commercial and residential properties along the line.
