Kurobe Senyō Railway

The Kurobe Senyō Railway (黒部専用鉄道, Kurobe Sen'yō Tetsudō; "Kurobe Industrial Railway") is a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) narrow gauge industrial railway line in Toyama Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the Kurobe Gorge Railway Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Kansai Electric Power Company. There are two lines, the Jōbu Track (上部軌道, Jōbu Kidō) and the Kuronagi Branch Line (黒薙支線, Kuronagi Shisen). Both lines provide access to Kansai Electric's hydroelectric power plants on the Kurobe River and are generally not open to the public. The Jōbu Track runs regular trains, while the Kuronagi branch sees very infrequent operation.
