Editing Osaka Loop Line (section)

===Limited express===
Charged Limited Express services such as ''[[Haruka (train)|Haruka]]'' for [[Kansai International Airport]], and south bound [[Kuroshio (train)|''Kuroshio'']] on the [[Hanwa Line]] and [[Kisei Main Line|Kisei Main Line (Kinokuni Line)]] heading for the scenic southern [[Wakayama Prefecture]] utilize the Osaka Loop Line to bypass the Tōkaidō Main Line and reach the Hanwa Line. On the loop, aside from Tennōji, limited numbers of trains stop only at Nishi-Kujō.

Between the Tōkaidō Main Line and the Osaka Loop Line, trains utilize the {{Ill|Umeda Freight Line|ja|梅田貨物線}} via a new underground route through Ōsaka Station, until it merges the main line at Shin-Ōsaka. This route was introduced in 1989 on the completion of a bypass track from the Hanwa Line to platforms of the Kansai Main Line at Tennōji. Until then no through operations were possible from the Hanwa Line.

[[281 series]] and [[271 series]] EMUs are used for ''Haruka'', [[283 series]] EMUs, [[287 series]] EMUs and [[289 series]] EMUs for ''Kuroshio''.
