It became a switchback station to run on flat land? What are the loop lines in Japan today? What is the difference between the Yamanote line and Osaka Loop Line? Platform doors have been increasingly installed in urban areas in recent years. Why are the forms completely different between the Tokyo metropolitan area and the Kansai area and depending on the company? Why is the Utsunomiya Light Rail a narrow gauge? A railway that runs through a tunnel in the mountains and a subway that runs underground in urban areas? What is the difference? What is the shortest private railway in Japan? What is the shortest subway line in Japan? The author examines various questions related to the railway and answers them one by one.
