Shingū Station (新宮駅, Shingū-eki) is an interchange passenger railway station located in the city of Shingū, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan, jointly operated by JR West and JR Central.
Overview
[edit | edit source]Shingū Station is the main railway station in Shingū, and plays an important role in the operation of the Kisei Main Line. The jurisdiction of the Kisei Main Line is divided at Shingū Station. The section of the line southwest of Shingū Station falls under JR West's jurisdiction and the section northeast of Shingū Station falls under JR Tōkai's jurisdiction. In addition, the station serves as the border for electrification, as the JR Tōkai portion of the line running is not electrified. There is a sign stating the boundary between the two companies at the North entrance of the Tankaku tunnel.

History
[edit | edit source]Shingū Station opened on the Shingu Railway on March 1, 1913. The Shingu Railway was nationalized on July 1, 1934, and the station was relocated 40 meters to the south of its original location on May 30, 1928. The station building burned down due to a fire which began in the checked luggage storage room on January 21, 1951. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR( on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) and the Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight). Freight operations were terminated from March 16, 1996.
