The Tennōji to Sakaigawa Signal Box (between Taishō and Bentenchō, closed in 2006 when the branch to the port closed) section (south-western portion of the loop) was constructed for freight traffic by the JGR to the port area in 1928, connecting to a freight branch line of the [[Kansai Main Line]], Imamiya – {{Nihongo|Naniwa|浪速}} – {{Nihongo|Osaka-minato|大阪港||apart from the present [[Ōsakakō Station]] on the [[Osaka Municipal Subway]] [[Chūō Line (Osaka)|Chūō Line]]}} with a distance of 5.2&nbsp;mi. (ca. 8.4&nbsp;km). In 1930 with the change to metric measurement, it became 8.2&nbsp;km. The former Osaka-Minato and Osaka-Tōkō stations were closed in 1984.
