Railway Stations In Japan Opened In 1932
Rail transport (also known as train transport) is a means of transport using wheeled vehicles running in railway track, tracks, which usually consist of two parallel steel railway track, rails. Rail transport is one of the two primary means of land transport, next to road transport. It is used for about 8% of passenger and rail freight transport, freight transport globally, thanks to its Energy efficiency in transport, energy efficiency and potentially high-speed rail, high speed.Rolling stock on rails generally encounters lower friction, frictional resistance than rubber-tyred road vehicles, allowing rail cars to be coupled into longer trains. Power is usually provided by Diesel locomotive, diesel or Electric locomotive, electric locomotives. While railway transport is capital intensity, capital-intensive and less flexible than road transport, it can carry heavy loads of passengers and cargo with greater energy efficiency and safety.

Taketoyo Thermal Power Station
is a large thermal power station operated by JERA in the city of Taketoyo, Aichi, Japan. The facility is located at the northern end of Chita Peninsula. History Plans to build a power station in Taketoyo were drawn up in the late 1950s by Chubu Electric to meet base load demand, and a site was selected on reclaimed land on the west coast of Kinuura Bay (and inlet of Mikawa Bay), approximately 40 kilometers south of the city of Nagoya. Unit 1, with a 220 MW steam turbine, went on line in 1966. The remaining three units came on line in 1972, and served to power the cities of Aichi Prefecture. Plans were made to close the facility by the mid-2000s due to rising fuel and maintenance costs. Unit 1 was decommissioned in March 2002, and plans were considered to either close Unit 2, or to convert it from oil to coal. However, with the indefinite shutdown of the Hamaoka Nuclear Power Plant in May 2011 due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, ...

Tranpass
was the name of a magnetic fare card that was able to be used with many trains and buses running in Nagoya and its suburbs, especially trains and buses operated by the Nagoya City Transportation Bureau and Meitetsu (Nagoya Railroad). The Nagoya City Municipal Subway sold magnetic fare cards called Yurica cards, and Meitetsu sold magnetic fare cards known as SF Panorama cards, but were usually Tranpass-compatible cand thus ould be used on any transportation system that accepted Tranpass cards. Starting on February 11, 2011, a contactless smart card, manaca, supplemented and eventually replaced Tranpass. Prevalence Tranpass cards could be used in all Nagoya Municipal Subway lines, all Nagoya City buses, nearly all stations in Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu), some buses operated by Meitetsu, all of the Aonami Line, and all of the Linimo Line. Within the Nagoya area, Tranpass was able to be used to pay for nearly any public transportation except for JR Central railway stations or Kinte ...

Turnstile
A turnstile (also called a gateline, baffle gate, automated gate, turn gate in some regions) is a form of gate which allows one person to pass at a time. A turnstile can be configured to enforce One-way traffic#One-way traffic of people, one-way human traffic. In addition, a turnstile can restrict passage only to people who insert a coin, ticket, transit pass, security credential, or other method of payment or verification. Modern turnstiles can incorporate biometrics, including retina scanning, fingerprints, and other individual human characteristics which can be scanned. Thus a turnstile can be used in the case of Fare control, paid access (sometimes called a faregate or ticket barrier when used for this purpose), for example to access public transport, a pay toilet, or to restrict access to authorized people, for example in the lobby of an office building. History Turnstiles were originally used, like other forms of stile, to allow human beings to pass while excluding live ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Manaca
, stylized in lowercase as manaca, is a rechargeable contactless smart card used in Nagoya, Japan and the surrounding area in Aichi Prefecture. It launched on February 11, 2011, replacing the Tranpass magnetic fare card system. Since 2013, it has been part of Japan's Nationwide Mutual Usage Service, allowing it to be used in all major cities across the country. Etymology The name comes from the Japanese word , meaning "center", because Nagoya is roughly in the center of Japan, and because it claims to be a central part of riders' lifestyles. The card is administered by both the Nagoya City Transportation Bureau Development Organization and MIC (a subsidiary of Meitetsu); while MIC stylizes the name in romaji as "manaca", the City writes it in katakana. Usage Manaca has a feature set similar to other prepaid IC cards used across the country. It provides a convenient method of payment for train and bus fares while also being accepted as payment at some shops, restaurants, ...

Ticket Machine
A ticket machine, also known as a ticket vending machine (TVM), is a vending machine that produces paper or electronic tickets, or recharges a stored-value card or smart card or the user's mobile wallet, typically on a smartphone. For instance, ticket machines dispense train tickets at railway stations, transit tickets at metro stations and tram tickets at some tram stops and in some trams. Token machines may dispense the ticket in the form of a token which has the same function as a paper or electronic ticket. The typical transaction consists of a user using the display interface to select the type and quantity of tickets and then choosing a payment method of either cash, credit/debit card or smartcard. The ticket(s) are then printed on paper and dispensed to the user, or loaded onto the user's smartcard or smartphone. Ticket and fare formats For most of the twentieth century, ticket machines issued paper tickets, or tokens worth one fare each. Later, fare value was lo ...

Island Platform
An island platform (also center platform (American English) or centre platform (British English)) is a station layout arrangement where a single platform is positioned between two tracks within a railway station, tram stop or transitway interchange. Island platforms are sometimes used between the opposite-direction tracks on twin-track route stations as they are cheaper and occupy less area than other arrangements. They are also useful within larger stations, where local and express services for the same direction of travel can be accessed from opposite sides of the same platform instead of side platforms on either side of the tracks, simplifying and speeding transfers between the two tracks. The historical use of island platforms depends greatly upon the location. In the United Kingdom the use of island platforms on twin-track routes is relatively common when the railway line is in a cutting or raised on an embankment, as this makes it easier to provide access to the platf ...

Side Platform
A side platform (also known as a marginal platform or a single-face platform) is a platform positioned to the side of one or more railway tracks or guideways at a railway station, tram stop, or transitway. A station having dual side platforms, one for each direction of travel, is the basic design used for double-track railway lines (as opposed to, for instance, the island platform where a single platform lies between the tracks). Side platforms may result in a wider overall footprint for the station compared with an island platform, where a single width of platform can be shared by riders using either track. In some stations, the two side platforms are connected by a footbridge or tunnel to allow safe access to the alternate platform. While a pair of side platforms is often provided on a dual-track line, a single side platform is usually sufficient (trains are usually only boarded from one side) for a single-track line. Layout Where the station is close to a level crossing (g ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Meitetsu Chita New Line
The is a Japanese railway line connecting Taketoyo with Minamichita within Aichi Prefecture. It is owned and operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu). The line features seven tunnels and a maximum grade of 3.4% (approximately 1 in 29). It is the fourth railway line to be constructed in the Chita Peninsula, and the only railway line owned by Meitetsu to be named as a "New Line". History There has been several attempts to build a railway line into southern Chita peninsula before World War II, such as Japan Governmental Railways' attempt to extend the Taketoyo Line to Morozaki, Aichi Electric Railways' (Current Meitetsu) attempt to build a line to Utsumi, and the local investors' plan to build a light railway from Taketoyo in 1913. However, due to the low population density in the area, and the lack of industry, none of the plans came to fruition. Meitetsu, in a part of an effort to develop the southern Chita peninsula, planned building a line to Utsu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
