Takamatsu
Takamatsu got its first electric railway in 1911, when a predecessor of today's Kotoden opened a line between Imabashi and Shido. Much of the Kotoden fleet is secondhand stock from Keikyu, Keio, and Nagoya, which has earned it the nickname of a moving train museum. Over the century since, rail in the city has changed in big ways. The Great Seto Bridge opened in 1988, linking Shikoku to Honshu by rail, and the Marine Liner rapid service now runs from Okayama to Takamatsu in about 55 minutes, replacing a ferry crossing of about an hour. Kotoden went bankrupt in 2001 but was rebuilt and still runs today.
