Train lines in Japan - Shinetsu Honsen

Shinetsu Honsen
信越本線

At one time the Shinetsu Honsen (or Shinetsu Main Line) was one continuous line. Currently, this JR East operated line is divided into three geographically distince sections as follows:

Takasaki Station to Yokokawa Station (Gunma Prefecture)
Shinonoi Station to Nagano Station (Nagano Prefecture)
Naoetsu Station to Niigata Station (Niigata Prefecture)

How it got to that situation is another story, but the name of the line comes from the old names for Nagano Prefecture (Shinano 信濃) and Niigata Prefecture (Echigo 越後)
