熊本县八代 – 熊本县肥萨橙铁路线的一段因7月地震受损而暂停服务后，于周二恢复运行。
Yatsushiro, Kumamoto Pref. – Train services on a section of the Hisatsu Orange Railway line in Kumamoto Prefecture resumed Tuesday after having been suspended due to damage from an earthquake in July.
受影响地区的所有铁路线路现在已恢复运营，距7月28日地震发生已77天。
All railway lines in affected areas are now back in operation, 77 days after the July 28 temblor.
周二，八代站至肥后滨浦站之间的23.6公里段路段恢复运行。该段靠近震中，轨道曾发生变形，站台也受损。
On Tuesday, services resumed on the 23.6-kilometer section between Yatsushiro and Higo-Tanoura stations. Located near the epicenter, the tracks had been deformed and the platforms had been damaged.
“我很高兴，因为我一直希望整条线路能尽快恢复运营，”一名52岁的兼职工人表示，他每月会乘坐肥萨橙铁路线两到三次，用于就医和购物。
“I’m glad because I had been hoping that the entire line would resume operations as soon as possible,” said a 52-year-old part-time worker, who uses the Hisatsu Orange Railway line two or three times a month for hospital visits and shopping.
肥萨橙铁路总裁中村清喜表示：“我很高兴我们终于能够在全线运行列车。”肥萨橙铁路线是在2004年九州新干线部分路段开通后，从九州铁路（JR九州）的运营中分离出来的。
Seiki Nakamura, president of Hisatsu Orange Railway, a third-sector railway operator, said, “I’m delighted that we are finally able to operate trains along the entire line.”The Hisatsu Orange Railway line was separated from operations of Kyushu Railway (JR Kyushu) when a section of the Kyushu Shinkansen bullet train line opened in 2004.
肥萨橙铁路在地震导致线路超过100处受损后，曾短暂暂停全线运营。
Hisatsu Orange Railway briefly suspended services on the entire line after the earthquake damaged more than 100 locations along the line.
受损严重的熊本站至南新水俣站之间的九州新干线路段于9月18日恢复运营。JR九州也于周六恢复了宇土站至八代站之间鹿儿岛线路段的运营。
The heavily damaged section between Kumamoto and Shin-Minamata stations of the Kyushu Shinkansen resumed operations Sept. 18. JR Kyushu also resumed operations Saturday on a section between Uto and Yatsushiro stations on its Kagoshima Line.
