Yokohama Municipal Subway Blue Line Kaminagaya Station
The Yokohama subway is overshadowed by its northern neighbour of Tōkyō with its two subway systems. However, the Yokohama subway is vital to Japan’s second-largest city. The system has two lines, the Blue and the Green. The Blue line first opened in 1972, using standard-gauge track with third rail power. The line is currently just over 40km long with 32 stations The Green line opened in 2008 with smaller profile cars, using standard gauge tracks overhead for power, but uses LIMs for propulsion. It is 13 km long with ten stations. Yokohama also has another subway line, MinatoMirai, which is operated by a different company and is not part of the city subway network.
