Seto-Ōhashi Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Seto-Ōhashi Line (瀬戸大橋線 Seto-Ōhashi-sen?) is a Japanese railway service across the Inland Sea via the Great Seto Bridge between Okayama Station, Okayama and Takamatsu Station, Takamatsu, operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) and Shikoku Railway Company (JR Shikoku). It links Honshū and Shikoku. It is not a distinct railway line, but an official nickname given to a composite line formed by three different lines. Basically, only the train that enters Honshi-Bisan Line is called Seto-Ōhashi Line train.
