The {{Nihongo|'''Musashino Line'''|武蔵野線|Musashino-sen}} is a railway line operated by the [[East Japan Railway Company]] (JR East). It links [[Tsurumi Station]] in [[Yokohama]] with [[Nishi-Funabashi Station]] in [[Chiba Prefecture]], forming a {{Convert|100.6|km|mi|abbr=on}} unclosed loop around central [[Tokyo]]. Passenger operations are limited to the {{Convert|71.8|km|mi|abbr=on}} portion between {{STN|Fuchūhommachi|x}} and Nishi-Funabashi; the Tsurumi to Fuchūhommachi portion, called the "Musashino South Line", is normally used only by freight trains. The line forms part of what JR East refers to as the "Tokyo Mega Loop" ({{langx|ja|東京メガループ|links=no}}) around Tokyo, consisting of the [[Keiyō Line]], Musashino Line, [[Nambu Line]], and [[Yokohama Line]].<ref name="dj364">{{cite magazine|last =Saka |first = Masayuki |script-title=ja:東京メガループ 車両・路線の沿革と現況 |trans-title=Tokyo Megaloop: History and current situation of trains and line  |magazine=Tetsudō Daiya Jōhō Magazine |volume = 43|issue = 364 |pages=28–39 |publisher = Kōtsū Shimbun |location = Japan |language= ja |date = August 2014}}</ref>
