[History of the Hankai Railway] The Hankai Line originated from the former Hankai Electric Railway Company, established in March 1910.The company was founded by Naoki Kataoka and others with the purpose of building an electric railway between Osaka City and Hamadera Village, as well as between Shukuin in Sakai City and Ohama.In December 1911, the section between Ebisucho and Oshoji opened, followed by Oshoji to Shorinji Bridge (now Goryomae) in March 1912, and Shorinji Bridge to Hamadera Station Front in April of the same year, completing the Hankai Line route. After completing the route, the former Hankai Electric Railway engaged in intense passenger competition with the rival Nankai Railway, but in June 1915, the two companies merged, and it became the Hankai Line of the Nankai Railway.
