Kurobe Senyō Railway

Both lines provide access to Kansai Electric's hydroelectric power plants on the Kurobe River and are generally not open to the public.

The Jōbu Track runs regular trains, while the Kuronagi branch sees very infrequent operation.

During construction, the temperature of the surrounding rocks was 160 °C (320 °F), which caused dynamite used for excavating the tunnel to explode prematurely.

Motive power on the Jōbu Track is provided by battery-powered locomotives, which tow small freight or passenger cars a few times a day.

Because the line runs almost entirely within tunnels, the Jōbu Track operates year-round, unlike the Kurobe Gorge Railway, which closes during winter due to heavy snow.
