Hankyu operates three main trunk lines, connecting Osaka with Kobe, Takarazuka and Kyoto respectively, and their branches.
Kōbe Main Line (神戸本線) (Category-1: Umeda - Sannomiya)
- Itami Line (伊丹線) (Category-1: Tsukaguchi - Itami)
- Imazu Line (今津線) (Category-1: Imazu - Nishinomiya-kitaguchi - Takarazuka)

Takarazuka Main Line (宝塚本線) (Category-1: Umeda - Takarazuka)

The three groups of the lines, the Kobe Lines, the Takarazuka Lines and the Kyoto Lines, can be further grouped into two, the Kobe-Takarazuka Lines and the Kyoto Lines from a historical reason. Hankyu has two groups of rolling stock, one for the Kobe-Takarazuka Lines and the other for the Kyoto Lines.
Nose Electric Railway (Category-1: Kawanishi-Noseguchi - Myōkenguchi/Nissei-Chūō) works as a feeder of the Takarazuka Main Line although it is a separate railway company under control of Hankyu.

Famous quotes containing the words rail and/or lines:
“Old man, it’s four flights up and for what?
Your room is hardly any bigger than your bed.
Puffing as you climb, you are a brown woodcut
stooped over the thin rail and the wornout tread.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“I have a new method of poetry. All you got to do is look over your notebooks ... or lay down on a couch, and think of anything that comes into your head, especially the miseries.... Then arrange in lines of two, three or four words each, don’t bother about sentences, in sections of two, three or four lines each.”
—Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)
