The Negishi Line (根岸線, Negishi-sen?) is a Japanese railway line which runs between Yokohama and Ōfuna stations. It is operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Freight trains also run on this line, and it is essential for the southern Keihin region.
The Negishi Line does not exist as an independent service. Nearly all passenger trains are operated through onto the Keihin-Tōhoku Line past Yokohama to Kamata, Tokyo, and Ōmiya; as a result, the entire service between Ōmiya and Ōfuna is typically referred to as the Keihin-Tōhoku—Negishi Line (京浜東北線・根岸線?) on system maps and in-train station guides. Keihin-Tōhoku Line—Negishi Line trains are recognizable by their light blue stripe (the line's color on maps is also light blue).
A few trains travel through to Hachiōji via the Yokohama Line.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“The man of business ... goes on Sunday to the church with the regularity of the village blacksmith, there to renounce and abjure before his God the line of conduct which he intends to pursue with all his might during the following week.”
