Taita Line

The Taita Line (太多線, Taita-sen) is a 17.8-kilometer (11.1 mi) railway line in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, operated by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central).

In addition to trains running between Tajimi and Mino-Ōta Stations, there are also trains that enter the Takayama Main Line and run through to Gifu Station.

The section from Shin-Tajimi to Hiromi Station was nationalized in 1926, named the Taita Line, and regauged to 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in), and extended to Mino-Ōta in 1928.

Passenger trains were replaced by DMUs in 1934, and steam locomotives ceased operating on the line in 1969.

From 1 April 1987, with the privatization and division of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) into regional companies, the Taita Line became part of JR Central.
