History

The first 22.9-km section of the Noto Line of Japanese National Railways (JNR) between Anamizu Station and Ukawa Station opened on June 15, 1959. It was extended 9.9 km to Ushitsu Station on April 17, 1960, 13.8 km to Matsunami Station on October 1, 1963 and 14.5 km to Takojima Station on September 21, 1964 completing the line of 61.1 km in total, and featuring 49 tunnels in that distance.[1]

Following the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the line was operated by West Japan Railway Company until the company transferred the operation of the line to Noto Railway on March 25, 1988.[1]

The line was closed on April 1, 2005.

gollark: A regular tree structure lets us generate the tessellation C combinatorially.The tessellation will be generated lazily, let G be the set of tiles generated sofar. For every g ∈ G, we keep the following information: its state q(c), and forevery i = 0 . . . Nt − 1, its connection e(g, i), which is either a pointer to anothertile g′ ∈ G and an index i′ (meaning that edge i of g connects to edge i′ of g′)or NULL (meaning that we do not know this connection yet).
gollark: It would be difficult for a server-side thing.
