『Nagoya Rinkai Line』
South of downtown Nagoya in the port district is a third sector short line freight railway, the Nagoya Rinkai Railway. Opened in 1965, this line serves a number of heavy industries along the port district in Ise Bay. They handle chemical, automotive, oil, and commodities to and from Nippon Steel. Locomotive traction is utilized with a fleet of old ND552 diesel center cabs. Nearly all of the ND552's are still in use since the railway's founding.
Here ND552-8 crosses over the Tsuchiruki River with a short train of steel from the Nagoya Nippon Steel Works. They are headed for Higashicho Yard, where the train will later be transferred to JR Freight.
