The {{Nihongo|'''Keishin Line'''|京津線|Keishin-sen}} is an [[interurban]] partially-[[Street running train|street running]] railway line in Japan operated by the [[private railway]] operator [[Keihan Electric Railway]]. The {{Cvt|7.5|km}} line connects [[Misasagi Station]] in [[Kyoto]] and [[Biwako-Hamaōtsu Station]] in the neighbouring city of [[Ōtsu, Shiga|Ōtsu]].
==History==
The line was built in 1912 to connect directly between the city centers of Kyoto and Ōtsu by [[Railway electrification system|electric]] [[tram|streetcars]] because the [[steam locomotive|steam-powered]] [[Tōkaidō Main Line]] made a great detour between the two cities before its reroute in 1921.
 
The busiest section of the line, between [[Sanjo Station (Kyoto)|Keishin-Sanjō Station]] and Misasagi Station, was replaced in 1997 by the [[Tozai Line (Kyoto)|Kyoto Subway Tōzai Line]].
One of the aims of the substitution was to move the tracks underground, in order to give more lanes to road vehicles.
Consequently trains go direct to the Tōzai Line. The line still operates on street tracks in Ōtsu.
 
==Technical data==
* Distance: {{convert|7.5|km|mi|abbr=on}}
* Gauge: {{RailGauge|standard}}
* Number of stations: 7 (including start and end)
* Track: Dual
* Electricity: DC 1500 V, overhead lines
* Maximum gradient: 61/1000
 
==Train service==
Except trains between Shinomiya Station and Hamaōtsu Station in early morning and late night, all trains go directly from Hamaōtsu Station to [[Kyoto Shiyakusho-mae Station]] or [[Uzumasa Tenjingawa Station]] on the [[Kyoto Municipal Subway]] [[Tōzai Line (Kyoto)|Tōzai Line]]. During off peak hours, the line operates every 20 minutes.
During off peak hours, the line operates four services an hour.

===Abandoned section===
The station list is as of 1997 whenbefore the street running section was abandoned due to replacement by the [[Tōzai Line (Kyoto)|Tōzai Line]] subway. It also lists the corresponding subway stations that replaced the Keishin Line stations.

==History==
The line was built in 1912 (dual track electrified at 600 V DC) to connect the city centers of Kyoto and Ōtsu by electric [[tram|streetcars]], as the [[steam locomotive|steam-powered]] [[Tōkaidō Main Line]] was an indirect route between the two cities before its realignment in 1921.{{cn|date=March 2017}}
 
The busiest section of the line, between [[Sanjo Station (Kyoto)|Keishin-Sanjō Station]] and Misasagi Station, was replaced in 1997 by the [[Tozai Line (Kyoto)|Kyoto Subway Tōzai Line]], and the voltage increased to 1,500 V DC in conjunction with this project.{{cn|date=March 2017}} One of the aims of the realignment was to move the tracks underground in the Kyoto area, in order to remove the former alignment along public roads. The line retains its public road alignment in Ōtsu.
