Kōyokin Line

The Kōyokin Line (こ預金線 Ko yokin-sen) is a Takyotan railway line operated by the Imperial Railway company. The line runs from Kōdai Central Station in Kōdai to Shibuku Station in Shibuku, Toyokin. The line's name comes from an abbreviation of Kōdai and Toyokin. (Kō-yokin)

Although the line just goes from between Kōdai and Shibuku, trains sometimes go farther at the northern end to continue on to Okanami, on the Okanami-Kōdai Line. However, trains terminate at Shibuku Station, where passengers can then connect to other rail lines or rapid transit lines. The rolling stock for the Kōyokin Line are 21 10-car EMU Tak203 series and 13 10-car EMU Tak205 series.

Route
The Kōyokin Line runs parallel to the Azuma Shokishima Line when it travels from Kōdai to Tsynghan-Bīnhǎi. On this section of the line, it is used as an occasional alternative to the Azuma Shokishima Line. Thus, it gets the alternate name: Tatō Line (他東線 Ta tō-sen). On the portion from Tsynghan-Bīnhǎi to Shibuku Station, it is its own separate line, and switches to a double track layout. However, it is altogether known as the Kōyokin Line on the official Imperial Railway map. The line is mapped as a green-blue line.

Service
Imperial Railway offers 2 types of train services on the Kōyokin Line: All-Station (全駅 Zen'eki) and Rapid Train (快速電車 Kaisoku densha). The Zen'eki train stops at all routed stations on the line, and usually takes about an two hours to complete the whole line. However, the Rapid Train only services trains from Tsynghan-Bīnhǎi to Shibuku Station, stopping only at Eigashi Central Station. The train usually travels at top speed (100 km/h or 62 mph), and takes about an hour to complete the service.
