Odakyu Tama Line

The Odakyū Tama Line (小田急多摩線, Odakyū Tama-sen?) is a railway line operated by the Odakyu Electric Railway in Japan. The line runs 10.6 kilometres (6.6 mi) in the southwestern portion of Greater Tokyo, from Shin-Yurigaoka Station to Karakida Station.

Used for commuter service by the residents of Tama New Town, the largest New Town in Japan, rapid trains are often on the line, through to the terminus of the operator Shinjuku on the main line (Odawara Line) or downtown via Tokyo Metro Chiyoda Line. Tama Express trains terminate at Toride Station in Toride, Ibaraki, on the opposite side of Tokyo. A Limited express service is also provided in the evening, with Odakyu "Romancecar" EMUs.
