History

File:KitaTango earthquake Amino Station.jpeg

The Nishi-Maizuru - Miyazu section was opened in 1924 by the Japanese Government Railway, and extended west progressively, reaching Amino in 1926.

The Toyooka - Kumihama section opened in 1929, the Amino - Tango-Kanno section in 1931, and the line was completed in 1932 with the opening of the Kumihama - Tango-Kanno section

Freight services ceased in 1985, and in 1990 the Kitakinki Tango Railway commenced operating the line. It electrified the Amanohashidate - Miyazu section in 1996, enabling EMU services from the Miyafuku Line to service Amanohashidate Station.

On April 1, 2015, the train operation business of Kitakinki Tango Railway was transferred to Willer Trains, Inc., which named the railway system the Kyoto Tango Railway.{{Cite news|url=http://response.jp/article/2015/04/01/248115.html|title=ウィラー初の鉄道路線「京都丹後鉄道」スタート…北近畿タンゴ鉄道の運行引き継ぐ|language=ja|author=小佐野カゲトシ|website=Response|date=April 1, 2015|access-date=April 5, 2015}} At this time, the nicknames Miyamai Line and Miyatoyo Line were assigned to the line.{{Cite web|url=http://trains.willer.co.jp/corporate/profile/vision/|title=経営ビジョン|author=Willer Group|access-date=April 4, 2015}}

  • Nodagawa station - The Kaya Railway Co. opened a 6 km line to its namesake town in 1926. In 1942 the line was extended 3 km to the Oeyama nickel mine, and a 4 km extension from Nodagawa to Iwataki built to service an ore treatment plant. Both extensions closed in 1946, and the original line closed in 1985.
