JÅetsu Line
The Joetsu line (Jap.上 越 线, Joetsu - sen) is a major Japanese railway line. As part of the route network of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) leads from the station to Takasaki Miyauchi Station in Nagaoka in Niigata Prefecture and thus connects the north-west of the Kanto region with the coast of the Japanese sea in the region Chūbu.
Before the Joetsu Shinkansen was opened in 1982, the Joetsu Line maintained a tight high-speed rail service between Tokyo and Niigata. Today the route is mainly traveled by regional and freight trains.
Through the Chuetsu Earthquake in 2004, the Joetsu line was heavily damaged, what the JR East prompting to close the route for two months.
The Joetsu Shinkansen branch line between the stations Echigo Yuzawa - and Gala Yuzawa ( Gala - Yuzawa Line ) is procedurally to Joetsu Line.
