History

[edit]

After World War II, the ownership of the right-of-way of an uncompleted Imperial Japanese Army military railway line was transferred to Keisei.[citation needed] Shin-Keisei was established as a subsidiary of Keisei on 23 October 1946 to construct and operate the line.[4] The first section of the line, 2.5 km from Shin-Tsudanuma to Yakuendai, was opened on 27 December 1947, with a track gauge of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) and electrified at 1,500 V DC overhead.[4] The line was regauged to 1,372 mm (4 ft 6 in) in October 1953, and the entire line was completed as a single-track line by 21 April 1955.[4] In August 1959, the line was again regauged, this time to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+12 in) to match the standard gauge used by Keisei Electric Railway.[4]

In June 2014, the company unveiled a new corporate image with a new corporate logo and "gentle pink" corporate colour scheme and train livery.[5] The company's entire fleet of trains was scheduled to be reliveried in the new colour scheme, with the first train, an 8800 series set entering service from 29 August 2014.[6]

Future plans

[edit]

In an announcement made on 31 October 2023, the Shin-Keisei Electric Railway revealed that it would be merged into the parent Keisei Electric Railway. The move is expected to be completed by April 2025.[7][8]
