Shin-Keisei Electric Railway - History

History

After World War II, the ownership of the right-of-way of an uncompleted Imperial Japanese Army military railway line was transferred to Keisei. Shin-Keisei was established as a subsidiary of Keisei in 1946 to construct and operate the line.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    “The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
    —Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)

    “There are two great unknown forces to-day, electricity and woman, but men can reckon much better on electricity than they can on woman.”
    —Josephine K. Henry, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 15, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)

    “The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
    —Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)
