These Two Lines Are Now Open

Shinden B Line Opens

On August 5, 2024, the Shinden B Line (Takamatsu Coast → Broken Cloud Industrial Park) began initial operations. It is the first line opened by Shinden Railway and improves east–west transport across the snowfield region.

Four-Tracking of the Mihua–Broken Cloud Industrial Park Section

On August 6, 2024, the four-tracking project for the shared section of Maki Railway's Hoshie Line and Korikos Transport's Sunrise Plains Loop was completed. Trains on the two lines now use separate tracks, removing the operating bottleneck and improving capacity. Carefully designed track layouts still allow trains to cross between the lines. Broken Cloud Industrial Park Station was also extensively renovated, with new north and south concourses; the north concourse provides transfers to the Shinden B Line.
