The Tarumi Line (樽見線, Tarumi-sen) is a Japanese railway line in Gifu Prefecture, between Ōgaki Station, Ōgaki and Tarumi Station, Motosu. It is the only railway line of the third-sector operator Tarumi Railway (樽見鉄道, Tarumi Tetsudō). There was a freight rail service that transported cement for Sumitomo Ōsaka Cement of Sumitomo Group Gifu factory. It once accounted for 40% of the whole revenue, but the freight operation ceased in spring 2006.[citation needed]
