The Nambu Line (南武線, Nanbu-sen?) is a Japanese railway line which connects Tachikawa Station in Tachikawa, Tokyo and Kawasaki Station in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture. For most of its length, it parallels the Tama River, the natural border between Tokyo and Kanagawa prefectures. It is part of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) network. The name refers to the southern (南, nan?) part of the ancient province of Musashi (武蔵?) (now Tokyo and northern Kanagawa prefectures), through which the Nambu Line runs.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“That’s the down-town frieze,
Principally the church steeple,
A black line beside a white line;
And the stack of the electric plant,
A black line drawn on flat air.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
