History
[edit]The Yoshino Railway (
In 1929 the company merged with the Osaka Electric Railway Co., which merged with Kintetsu in 1944.
Freight services ceased in 1984, and CTC signalling was commissioned in 2001.
Kintetsu Railway introduced the Blue Symphony sight-seeing train on this line in 2018. The special train runs twice a day in both directions.[3]
