Hiroshima City Network

Hiroshima City Network

The nihongo|Hiroshima City Network|広島シティネットワーク|Hiroshima Shiti Nettowāku is the common name for the JR West rail lines in the Hiroshima metropolitan area. The network was created on 2002-10-05 and modeled after the Urban Network in the Kyōto-Osaka-Kōbe area of Japan. Unlike the Urban Network, the Hiroshima City Network was not created in order to serve the suburbs and surrounding environs of a large city, but rather to service primarily stations within 30-40 minutes of Hiroshima Station.

Between Hiroshima Station and Kaitaichi Station (part of the Fukufuku Line), the outside two tracks are exclusively for passenger trains, while the inside two tracks are used primarily for freight trains, allowing for expansion of the use by passenger trains according to demand.
