A Sangi Line 101 series train

Sangi Railway Co., Ltd. (三岐鉄道株式会社, Sangi Tetsudō) is a private railway company in Mie Prefecture, Japan. It also operates bus lines. The company was founded in 1928. Its original line, the Sangi Line, mainly functioned as a freight line transporting cement, but in recent years, it also became important as a commuter railway line for Yokkaichi. The Hokusei Line was transferred from Kintetsu ownership in 2003, when Kintetsu abandoned the line. Whereas the Sangi Line has a track gauge of 1067, the Hokusei Line is one of only a few 762 narrow gauge lines in the country.
