The Yokohama Line (Japanese: 横浜線, romanized: Yokohama-sen) is a Japanese railway line of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) connecting Higashi-Kanagawa Station in Yokohama, Kanagawa and Hachiōji Station in Hachiōji, Tokyo.
[2] The line's name comes from the section between Nagatsuta and Higashi-Kanagawa that runs through the city of Yokohama.
[4] The Higashi-Kanagawa to Kozukue section was double-tracked by 1968, extended to Aihara by 1980, and completed to Hachiōji on 6 March 1988.
[7] Despite the line's name, only approximately half of all trains run as far as Yokohama Station.
[11] In these sets, the second car from the Higashi-Kanagawa end had six pairs of doors on each side to allow rapid boarding and disembarking during peak periods.
