history

The Sangi Tetsudō company was founded in 1928 and took its first railway line, the Sangi Tetsudō with a gauge of 1067 mm for goods traffic for cement transport from the Onoda cement factory in Nishi-Fujiwara into operation in 1931 . This developed into an important commuter line for Yokkaichi . Passenger traffic began in 1952. In 1954 the line was electrified with 1500 V direct current, and the company acquired an electric locomotive from the Japanese State Railways (JNR) . CTC signals were introduced in 1974.

The company took over Hokusei Tetsudō with a gauge of 762 mm in 2003 when it was split off from Kintetsu . It operates several bus routes.
