Third-sector railways are independent railway operators that were originally part of the Japanese national rail network, but were split off in the 1980s. They play an important role in providing a transport infrastructure for their local areas, but as many of them are located in rural areas they suffer from a loss of passengers. This article looks at some of these third-sector railways in detail.
