The Yabuzuka Quarry opened a 610 mm (2 ft) gaugehandcar line between Ota and Yabuzuka in 1911 to haul stone blocks.[citation needed] The line was acquired by Tobu in March 1913, rebuilt to 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) gauge and extended to Aioi on 19 March 1913, operating using steam haulage.[1] The line was electrified at 1,500 V DC from 1 March 1928, and in March 1932 extended to Akagi.[1] Freight services ceased in 1996, with the last service running on 25 September.[1]
