Seinō Railway


The Seinō Railway (西濃鉄道 Seinō Tetsudō?) is a freight only railway company in Ōgaki, Gifu, Japan. The company was founded in 1927. Its line mainly transports limestone. The company is not related to Seinō Transportation (?), a transportation company with similar name, also based in Ōgaki. The company was reported as being dissolved in 2013.

The 3km line from Mino-Akasaka to Ichihashi opened in 1928, and a passenger service operated from 1930 to 1945.

These two lines are virtually unused since the 1990s, as limestone is now mainly transported by road. However, their official status remains unknown.
