Kintetsu Minami-Osaka Line
The Minami-Osaka Line (南大阪線, Minami-Ōsaka-sen?) is a railway line operated by Kintetsu connecting Ōsaka Abenobashi in Osaka and Kashiharajingū-mae in Kashihara, Nara Prefecture via Osaka's southern suburb cities of Matsubara, Fujiidera and Habikino in Osaka Prefecture, and Katsuragi and Yamato-Takada in Nara Prefecture. The line is the major access from Osaka to southern part of Nara Basin, and together with Yoshino Line to Yoshino refuge of Emperor Godaigo.
The network formed by this line and some branch lines uses a track gauge of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in), an exception in the Kintetsu network.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“The middle years of parenthood are characterized by ambiguity. Our kids are no longer helpless, but neither are they independent. We are still active parents but we have more time now to concentrate on our personal needs. Our children’s world has expanded. It is not enclosed within a kind of magic dotted line drawn by us. Although we are still the most important adults in their lives, we are no longer the only significant adults.”
—Ruth Davidson Bell. Ourselves and Our Children, by Boston Women’s Health Book Collective, ch. 3 (1978)
