A transportation facility includes a rail extending through an opening, a door to open and close the opening, and a restrictor. The rail includes a movable rail, a first fixed rail, and a second fixed rail. The movable rail is shiftable between a connected orientation in which the movable rail is disposed in the overlapping area to connect the first fixed rail to the second fixed rail, and a retracted orientation in which the movable rail is disposed outside of the overlapping area to disconnect the first fixed rail from the second fixed rail. The restrictor is in a normal orientation with the movable rail in the connected orientation where the restrictor does not restrict travel of a transport vehicle, and shifts to a protruding orientation in response to the movable rail being shifted from the connected orientation to the retracted orientation where the restrictor restricts travel of the transport vehicle.

An article transport facility includes an engaging member capable of being moved to an engaging position at which the engaging member is in engagement with a movable guide portion and with a fixed guide portion to hold the movable guide portion in the guiding position, and to a releasing position at which the engaging member is not in engagement with at least one of the movable guide portion and the fixed guide portion wherein the engaging member supports the movable guide portion from below when in the engaging position; an urging member for urging the engaging member; a holding device for generating an operating force with electric power supplied from an electric power supply to hold the engaging member in the engaging position against an urging force of the urging member; and a power-supply controller for controlling the operation of the electric power supply. The power-supply controller maintains electric power supply in an electric power supplying state while fire information is not outputted from a fire detector and switches the electric power supply to an electric power non-supplying state if fire information is outputted from the fire detector.
