On this line, JR West operates several types of trains. The line serves as a link of Ōsaka Station in northern Osaka, and Tennōji in southern downtown. Some Limited Express trains linking north and south of the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto area use the line as bypass between Tōkaidō Main Line in the north and Hanwa Line in the south. Traffic is heavier in the eastern half, Osaka - Kyōbashi - Tennōji, than in the western half via Nishi-Kujō.

Famous quotes containing the word operation:

    “Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.”
    —Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    “It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
    —Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)

    “Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.”
    —Francis Bacon (1560–1626)
