The Keihanna Line (けいはんな線, Keihanna-sen) is a railway line operated by Kintetsu Railway. There are through trains to the Chūō Line of Osaka Municipal Subway. The line name derives from a kanji acronym formed from Kyoto (京都), Osaka (大阪), and Nara (奈良), but the name is written in hiragana.

The line is the sole Kintetsu line with a third rail electrification system. Before 2015, it was the only Kintetsu line that had station numbers (the station numbers coming from the Chūō Line).

gollark: Just define your problem generation problem rigorously and use Hutter search.

gollark: Just iterate over all possible strings and look for the most problemy ones.

gollark: Oh yes, I'll just do a 1729-dimensional Fourier transform on this 8051 to multiply these integers

gollark: In any case, the asymptotically-fastest multiplication algorithms are worse for any problem which fits into the universe.

gollark: Just take `x << 3 + x << 1` or something like that, unless it has something faster; you don't need some ultrahyperfast algorithm.
