The Keisei Electric Railway Co., Ltd. (京成電鉄株式会社 Keisei Dentetsu Kabushiki-gaisha?) (branded as K'SEI since 2001) is a major private railway in Chiba Prefecture and Tokyo, Japan. The name Keisei is the combination of the kanji 京 from Tokyo (東京 Tōkyō?) and 成 from Narita (成田 Narita?), which the railway's main line connects. The combination uses different readings than the ones used in the city names. The railway's main line runs from Tokyo to Narita and the eastern suburb cities of Funabashi, Narashino, Yachiyo, and Sakura. Keisei runs an airport express train called the Skyliner from Ueno and Nippori to Narita International Airport.
