The Sasshō Line (札沼線, Sasshō-sen?) is a railway line in Japan operated by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido), which runs between Sōen in Sapporo and Shin-Totsukawa in Shintotsukawa, Hokkaidō. Its name is made up of two characters from Sapporo (札幌?) and Ishikari-Numata (石狩沼田?), the latter of which was the terminus of the line until it was truncated at Shin-Totsukawa in 1972.

Famous quotes containing the word line:
“I fear I agree with your friend in not liking all sermons. Some of them, one has to confess, are rubbish: but then I release my attention from the preacher, and go ahead in any line of thought he may have started: and his after-eloquence acts as a kind of accompaniment—like music while one is reading poetry, which often, to me, adds to the effect.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
