The Yokohama Line is a Japanese railway line of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) connecting Higashi-Kanagawa Station in Yokohama, Kanagawa and Hachi?ji Station in Hachi?ji, Tokyo. The line's name comes from the section between Nagatsuta and Higashi-Kanagawa that runs through the city of Yokohama. Nicknamed the Hama-sen by locals, the line serves commuters in the southwestern suburbs of Tokyo and northeastern suburbs of Yokohama. The line was opened by the private Yokohama Railway on 23 September 1908 and leased to the government in 1910. The line was nationalized in 1917. Taking advantage of the line's location near the Japanese National Railways headquarters in Tokyo and relatively little traffic, the line was used as a test bed for regauging to standard gauge in 1917, with the intent of expanding it nationwide; due to political considerations, however, it was abandoned. In 1925, the Yokohama Line was electrified as a test prior to electrification of the T?kaid? Main Line.
