===Purpose-built loop line section=== To complete the Loop Line, new tracks were constructed between Nishi-Kujō and Sakaigawa Signal Box by the then [[Japanese National Railways]]. In 1961, this section opened and the new Osaka Loop Line was named for the entirety of the then Jōtō Line, Osaka – Nishi-Kujō section of the Nishinari Line (the rest, Nishi-Kujō – Sakurajima was named the [[Sakurajima Line]]) and the new Nishi-Kujō – Taishō – Tennōji section. In 1964, operation as a complete Loop Line commenced with the opening of elevated double tracks around Nishi-Kujō. Until then the operation had been undertaken in the shape of a mirrored "6", Sakurajima – Nishi-Kujō – Osaka – Kyōbashi – Tennōji – Nishi-Kujō. The Tennōji – Shin-Imamiya section was quadrupled in 1968, to separate operations from the Kansai Main Line.
