Chikutetsu 3000 Series train
The Chikuhō Electric Railroad Line (筑豊電気鉄道線, Chikuhō Denki Tetsudō-sen?) is a Japanese railway line of Chikuhō Electric Railroad (筑豊電気鉄道, Chikuhō Denki Tetsudō?) in Fukuoka Prefecture between Kurosaki-Ekimae in Kitakyūshū and Chikuhō-Nōgata in Nōgata. The line does not have an official name. The company or the line is also called Chikutetsu (筑鉄?). The company is a subsidiary of Nishi-Nippon Railroad (Nishitetsu). The first section of the line opened in 1914 by Kyūshū Electric Tramway, the current Nishitetsu, while Chikutetsu was founded in 1951. The line used to have a through service with Nishitetsu Kitakyūshū Line, a tram line now discontinued. Because of this, Chikutetsu Line only uses tram vehicles. However, the line is legally classified as a railway under Railway Business Act, not a tramway under Tram Act. The line does not share any segments with public roads either.
