Jiantou Lines
Jiantou means arrow in Joenggwok Okataian

The Okatabawashi High Speed Rail (OHSR) commenced operations on January 5, 1987, after some delays in 1986. The OHSR connects all the major cities of the nation, via four major lines, all operated by the MTS, the different lines run different models and trains, nonetheless they are known for punctuality, in 2011 the average delay time was 15 seconds. The popular English name arrow is a literal translation of the Japanese term Jiantou, a nickname given to the project while it was initially being discussed in the 1960s. The name stuck because of the original 0 Series Jiantou's resemblance to an arrow and its high speed.



The Jiantou name was first formally used in 1940 for a proposed standard gauge passenger and freight line between Tokyo and Shimonoseki that would have used steam and electric locomotives with a top speed of 200 km/h (120 mph). Over the next three years, the Ministry of Railways drew up more ambitious plans to link Okatabawashi city to Tokyo. These plans were abandoned in 1943 as Japan's position in World War II worsened. However, some construction did commence on the line; several tunnels on the present-day Shinkansen date to the war-era project.

In 1960 Robert Tungjiong was president of the MTS and with the amount of passengers growing and the saturations of the motorway led to the rethinking of the possibilities of these lines, especially the great Eastern Railway

The first generation of RR's were delivered from 1994 to 1996 as three and four car units. The three car units were delivered in the 82xx class and the four car units delivered as 84xx. The first batch of 290 double deck coaches (individual) were delivered. The first 47 were built by De Dietrich and from then on by Talbot.

As the coaches were individual but would run as a unit, they are individually numbered. Collectively they have a set number e.g. 8201, having coach number 380 8001. However there are no double numbers, for example there can not be an 8201 and 8401 at the same time.

In 2000 an order was placed for new coaches. The 3 car sets were to be upgraded to 4 car sets, and the four car sets upgraded to 6 car sets. This is why they are now called EIRM (extended). These were renumbered into the 94xx series and the 86xx series. These sets were formed between 2001 and 2005.

= Roads in Okatabawashi =

Following World War II, Okatabawashi's economic revival led to a massive increase in personal automobile use. However the existing road system was inadequate to deal with the increased demand; in 1956 only 23% of national highways were paved, which included only two thirds of the main Oka-City - Renagawa road (National Route 1)

In April 1956 the Ministry of Transport Roads Service MOTRS was established by the national government with the task of constructing and managing a nationwide network of expressways. In 1957 permission was given to the corporation to commence construction of the Western Expressway linking Oka city and Shuto via Tengoku, the first section of which opened to traffic in 1963.



In addition to the national expressway network administered by MOTRS, the government established additional corporations to construct and manage expressways in urban areas. The Metropolitan Expressway Public Corporation (responsible for the Namsham Expressway) was established in 1959, and the Koun Expressway Public Corporation (responsible for the Upper-Eastern Expressway) was established in 1962. By 2004 the lengths of their networks had extended to 283 km and 234 km respectively.

In 1966 a plan was formally enacted for a 7,600 km national expressway network. Under this plan construction of expressways running parallel to the coastlines of Okatabawashi would be given priority over those traversing the mountainous interior. In 1987 the plan was revised to extend the network to 14,000 km. In March 2005, completed sections of the network totalled 8,730 km and by the end of 2012 the national Expressway network had increased to 11,520 km
