Yokosuka Line

Yokosuka Line

The nihongo|Yokosuka Line|横須賀線|Yokosuka-sen is a rail line of JR East.

The line is 73.3 km long from Tokyo Station to Kurihama Station, is of 1,067 mm gauge and is double-tracked between Tokyo and Yokosuka. Officially the name Yokosuka Line is assigned to the 23.9 km segment between Ōfuna Station and Kurihama Station, but because the trains on the Yokosuka Line departs from Tokyo Station, the entire route of the trains is usually recognized as the Yokosuka Line.

It runs underground from Tokyo to Shinagawa (parallel to the Tōkaidō Main Line, the Yamanote Line and the Keihin-Tōhoku Line), then branches to the west following the Tōkaidō Shinkansen into the city of Kawasaki (this section, commonly called the nihongo|Hinkaku Line|品鶴線|Hinkaku-sen, is originally a freight branch of the Tōkaidō Main Line). It rejoins the Tōkaidō Main Line corridor near Tsurumi Station and follows the Tōkaidō Main Line to Ōfuna, where it branches off to the southeast toward stops on the Miura Peninsula.
