History
Mitsumineguchi Station opened on 15 March 1930 as the terminus of the private Chichibu Railway's Chichibu Main Line. Located in present-day Chichibu, Saitama, it sits 71.7 km from the opposing terminus at Hanyū and is served by through-running services from the Seibu-Chichibu Line. The staffed station has one side platform and one island platform serving three tracks, with stabling and run-round tracks alongside platform 3 and through former freight platforms. A turntable is provided to turn the steam locomotives that work the SL Paleo Express tourist services. The adjacent Chichibu Railway Park preserves a fleet of historic rolling stock and locomotives next to the turntable.
Notes
Mitsumineguchi's Chichibu Railway Park is one of the most concentrated open-air collections of pre-JNR-era Chichibu Railway rolling stock — DeKi1 and ED38 electric locomotives, DeHa 107 and KuHaNi 29 EMUs, and freight cars including SuMu 4023, ToKi 502, Yo 15 and WaKi 824 are all on permanent display.
