Shimotsui Dentetsu is an electrified local private railway that existed in Okayama Prefecture (currently a bus company), and at its peak it was a line connecting 21km from Chayamachi on the JNR Uno Line to Shimotsui (later shortened to 6.5km from Kojima to Shimotsui). It was. It features a so-called [light railway], which has a narrower gauge (762 mm) than ordinary railways, and attracted fans with its unique vehicle and scenic scenery along the Seto Inland Sea. With the opening of the Seto Ohashi Bridge in 1988 (Showa 63), a station on the Seto Ohashi Line was opened in Kojima, so although we introduced new rolling stock in an attempt to transform it into a tourist railway, the number of passengers did not grow and it was December 1990 The history of the railway line ended while being missed by the moon.

The light railway that has survived until Heisei will be explained in two volumes, upper and lower. In the first volume, we will explain the history of the route, changes in the management situation, and the process leading up to the partial abolition.
