Jōnan Line

The Jōnan Line was built in 1911 by the Matsuyama Electric Railway (松山電気軌道), who ran electric trams on a 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) track.[1][2] The Matsuyama Electric Railway was merged with Iyotetsu in 1921, who continued to operate the line.[3] In 1923, the tracks were converted from 1435 mm to 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in).[4]

The line is electrified with overhead lines. The main line is double-tracked, while the branch line is single-tracked. Five light rail services, along with the heritage railway train Botchan, run on the line.[5][6]
