Ise Railway Ise Line

The nihongo|Ise Line|伊勢線|Ise-sen is a Japanese railway line in Mie Prefecture, between Kawarada Station, Yokkaichi and Tsu Station, Tsu. This is the only railway line nihongo|Ise Railway|伊勢鉄道|Ise Tetsudō operates. The company is called for short as nihongo|Isetetsu|伊勢鉄. The third sector company took former Japanese National Railways line in 1987. The line was originally built as a short cut route between Nagoya and south Kii Peninsula (Kisei Main Line). As such, Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) limited express trains "Nanki" and rapid train "Mie" still go through the line, being primary revenue streams of Ise Railway. The line also transported spectators when the nearby Suzuka Circuit had the Japanese Grand Prix of F1 race. Local trains, on the other hand, have disappointing riderships, as the nearby Kintetsu Nagoya Line has much more frequent services.
