Rapid service railway line in Tokyo, Japan
Chuo
The Chūō Line (Rapid) is the name given to a rapid train service in Greater Tokyo, operating between Tōkyō in Chiyoda, and Takao in Hachioji by the East Japan Railway Company.
Some trains extend west beyond Takao to Ōtsuki in neighboring Yamanashi Prefecture. Other trains travel onward towards Ōme via the Ōme Line. It has been operating continuously in some form since April 1889 from its origins as part of the Kōbu Railway.
