The Mukogawa Line (武庫川線, Mukogawa-sen) is a branch line of the Hanshin Electric Railway Main Line in Nishinomiya, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan with no through service. The line is single-tracked, but is double-tracked at all stations except Suzaki Station. The route follows the western edge of the Mukogawa River from the Hanshin Main Line to the river's former mouth at Mukogawadanchimae Station.^{[citation needed]} Since 6 June 2020, the line has been operated by a fleet of 5500 series two-car sets, which have replaced the fleet of 7861 series sets that were used on the line previously.^[1]
