The Kurihara Den'en Railway Line (くりはら田園鉄道線, Kurihara Den'en Tetsudō sen?) was a rural rail line in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, abandoned on March 31, 2007. Running from Ishikoshi Station in Tome, Miyagi with a connection to the Tōhoku Main Line, extending westward to inland Hosokura Mine Park Mae Station in Kurihara, Miyagi, along central Kurihara. This line used to be called for short Kuriden (栗電 or くりでん?) because the preceding name of the operator was the Kurihara Electric Railway (栗原電鉄, Kurihara Dentetsu?).
The line was initially constructed for ore of Hosokura Mine (細倉鉱山, Hosokura Kōzan?) at the end of the line which was closed in 1988.

Famous quotes containing the words railway and/or line:
“Her personality had an architectonic quality; I think of her when I see some of the great London railway termini, especially St. Pancras, with its soot and turrets, and she overshadowed her own daughters, whom she did not understand—my mother, who liked things to be nice; my dotty aunt. But my mother had not the strength to put even some physical distance between them, let alone keep the old monster at emotional arm’s length.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“In order to get to East Russet you take the Vermont Central as far as Twitchell’s Falls and change there for Torpid River Junction, where a spur line takes you right into Gormley. At Gormley you are met by a buckboard which takes you back to Torpid River Junction again.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
