Meitetsu Chikkō Line

The Meitetsu Chikkō Line (名鉄築港線, Meitetsu Chikkō-sen) is a 1.5 km Japanese railway line in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, owned and operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu).

At Meiden Chikkō, between the line's two stations, there is a connection to the freight-only Nagoya Rinkai Railway Tōchiku line.

The line was opened in 1924 by the Aichi Electric Railway, electrified at 1,500 V DC, to service the Nagoya Port.

[1] The line was double-tracked in 1939, but after being damaged by Typhoon Vera in 1959, the line was repaired as a single track.

[citation needed] Although the line used to handle many freight services, they ceased in 1984.
