Editing Osaka Loop Line (section)

===Nishinari Line===
The Osaka to Nishi-Kujō section (the northwestern quarter of the line) was built by the {{Nihongo|Nishinari Railway|西成鉄道|Nishinari Tetsudō}} to provide rail access to the Osaka Port. In 1898, the company opened the Osaka – {{STN|Ajikawaguchi|x}} line, which was leased to JGR in 1904. In 1906 the company was nationalized under the act of the same year. In 1909, the line was named the {{Nihongo|"Nishinari Line"|西成線|Nishinari sen}} which included the present-day [[Sakurajima Line]].

The Nishinari Line was electrified in 1941.
