TheSōtetsu–JR Link Line is a section of theEastern Kanagawa Rail Link project, built by theJapan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency (JRTT). It connects theSōtetsu Main Line to theJR EastSaikyō Line via the tracks of theSōtetsu Shin-Yokohama Line and theTōkaidō Freight Line. The service is publicly referred to as theSotetsu Link Line by JR East^[1][2][3] and as the JR Link Line bySagami Railway (Sotetsu).^[4][5]

JR through service trains enter the Tōkaido Freight Line once leavingHazawa Yokohama-Kokudai Station, via the Tokyo-side of Yokohama-Hazawa Freight Station, then enters theYokosuka Line tracks nearTsurumi Station. The service shares the same route as theShōnan–Shinjuku Line, heading inbound towardsMusashi-Kosugi,Ōsaki,Shibuya, andShinjuku.

Trains operate fromEbina on theSotetsu Main Line, via Nishiya, Musashi-Kosugi, and enter the Saikyō Line at Ōsaki. Trains will mostly terminate at Shinjuku. In the morning rush hours, some trains go further north towardsMusashi-Urawa, Ōmiya,Sashiōgi (where the Kawagoe Line depot is located), and as far as Kawagoe. A total of 46 round trips will be operated every day, with a rush-hour frequency of 4 trains per hour, and off-peak frequency of 2-3 trains per hour.^[6]

The fastest travel times are 44 minutes betweenFutamatagawa and Shinjuku, 45 minutes betweenYamato and Shibuya, and 36 minutes between Ebina and Musashi-Kosugi.^[6]

•  Local (各停), stopping at all stations
•  Limited Express (特急), stopping at all stations on the JR lines.
  • However, when Limited Express trains are on the JR line, they are displayed asLocal instead.

Past proposals also suggested Sōtetsu trains to operate through services with theUeno-Tokyo Line, towards theUtsunomiya,Takasaki andJōban Lines. This requires trains to cross overlevel junctions to enter Tōkaido Line tracks near Tsurumi or Shinagawa (or somewhere in between), which would possibly undermine the high density train operations in this section, if no dedicatedgrade separation is built. Thus the idea was scrapped due to these difficulties.
