History
The line was originally opened in 1929 with a track gauge of 1,067 mm (3 ft 6 in) for army training purposes, and ceased to be used in 1945.
The line was transferred to the Shin-Keisei Railway, which reopened and electrified at 1,500 V DC (overhead) the first section of the line, 2.5 km (1.6 mi) from Shin-Tsudanuma to Yakuendai, on 27 December 1947. The Yukuendai–Takifudo section was reopened in 1948, and extended to Hatsutomi the following year.
The reopened sections were regauged to 1,372 mm (4 ft 6 in) in October 1953, and the entire line was reopened as a single-track line by 21 April 1955. In August 1959, the line was again regauged, this time to 1,435 mm (4 ft 8+1⁄2 in) to match the standard gauge used by Keisei Electric Railway.
Future plans
On 31 October 2023, it was announced that the Shin-Keisei Line would be merged into the Keisei Electric Railway and renamed to the Matsudo Line (松戸線, Matsudo-sen). The move is expected to be completed by April 2025.
