The name of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East Japan) line that runs from central Saitama to southwest Gunma. The Omiya-Kumagaya-Takasaki section is 74.7 km long. The entire line is double tracked and DC-electrified. It is a main line that runs northwest-southeast along the Nakasendo road through the Kanto Plain. It opened as the first line of the Japanese Railways in 1883-1884 (Meiji 16-17), and was nationalized in 1906 (Meiji 39). After World War II, the area along the line saw rapid urbanization, and it was electrified in 1952 (Showa 27), and it now has many trains as a commuter line. In 1987, following the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR), it became part of JR East Japan. With the start of operation of the Shonan-Shinjuku Line in 2001 (Heisei 13), some trains began direct operation to the Tokaido Line via Ikebukuro, Shinjuku, and Shibuya. In addition, with the opening of the Ueno-Tokyo Line in 2015, many trains that previously only stopped at Ueno began to operate directly on the Tokaido Main Line.

埼玉県中央部から群馬県南西部を走る東日本旅客鉄道(JR東日本)の線路名称。大宮―熊谷(くまがや)―高崎間74.7キロメートル。全線複線、直流電化。関東平野を中山道(なかせんどう)に沿って北西―南東方向に貫く幹線鉄道である。1883~1884年(明治16~17)に日本鉄道の最初の路線として開業し、1906年(明治39)国有化された。第二次世界大戦後は沿線の都市化が著しく、1952年(昭和27)に電化されて、通勤路線として列車本数も多い。1987年、日本国有鉄道(国鉄)の分割民営化に伴い、JR東日本に所属。2001年(平成13)の湘南(しょうなん)新宿ラインの運行開始とともに、一部列車は池袋、新宿、渋谷を経由して東海道線と直通運転を開始した。また2015年の上野東京ライン開業により、上野止まりであった列車の多くが東海道本線と直通運転を行うようになった。 [青木栄一・青木 亮 2016年3月18日] [参照項目] | | |出典 小学館 日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)日本大百科全書(ニッポニカ)について 情報 | 凡例 |
