The Central line, or Central Railway of Kien-k'ang as originally completed in 1916, is a rapid transit railway line part of the Kien-k'ang Rapid Transit system. The line consists of 34 stations located on a trunk line, running more or less in a north-south direction, one circulating line to Twa-ts'uk-men Station, and two additional branch lines on the south side. The length of the trunk line is 15.5 km, and the total length is 23.2 km; it originates in the Hallian Mission suburb in the north, goes through Great Kien-k'ang, and terminates in the districts of Q'a-men and Gi.

The line runs in cut-and-cover tunnels and open cuts within Great Kien-k'ang (the 1857 borders of the city where level crossings are prohibited) and at ground level beyond.

The Central line's distinguishing colour is yellow on the KRT diagrammatic maps since 1948.
