The Kintetsu Utsube Line (近鉄内部線, Kintetsu Utsube-sen?) is a railway line operated by the Japanese private railway company Kintetsu, connecting Kintetsu-Yokkaichi Station and Utsube Station, both in the city of Yokkaichi, Mie, Japan.
The line connects (indirectly) with the Kintetsu Nagoya Line and Kintetsu Yunoyama Line at Kintetsu-Yokkaichi Station; these other lines use an elevated platform whereas the Utsube Line uses a ground-level platform. At Hinaga Station, the line connects with the Kintetsu Hachiōji Line, a one-station branch line. Because all trains on the Hachiōji Line offer direct service to Kintetsu-Yokkaichi via the Utsube Line, the two lines are collectively called the Utsube-Hachiōji Line (内部・八王子線, Utsube-Hachiōji-sen?).
Unlike major Kintetsu lines, the line does not accept PiTaPa or ICOCA which are smart card ticketing systems.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding. Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone when the morning stars sang together and all the heavenly beings shouted for joy?”
—Bible: Hebrew, Job 38:4 -7.
God, to Job.
