RM Library No. 230 Hokuriku Railroad Nomi Line [30% OFF]

In the past, in the Hokuriku region along the Japan Sea coast, the Hokuriku Main Line of the Japanese National Railways was used as the trunk of a tree.
There were many private railway lines branching off from there .
One of these was the Hokuriku Railway Nomi Line , which connected to Terai Station (now Nomi-Neagari Station) and extended to Tsurugi inland to the south .
It opened as the Nomi Electric Railroad in 1925 (Taisho 14), and crossed the Tedori River to reach Tsurugi in 1932 (Showa 7) . During the war, many private railroads in Ishikawa Prefecture were merged to form the Hokuriku Railroad , of which the Nomi Line was also a part. The Nomi Line, together with the Ishikawa Line and Kana Line to which it connects , was sometimes referred to as the "Ishikawa General Line."
However, like many other railroads, the number of passengers decreased as automobiles became more widespread.
In the 1960s , service was limited to morning and evening hours, and in 1980 the entire line was finally abolished.
