Location
History
Tsunozu Station opened on 25 December 1920 as the temporary terminus of the Ministry of Railways' San'in Main Line when the route was extended from Asari, and it became a through station on 1 September 1921 with the further extension to Hamada. Freight handling ceased on 7 November 1982 and parcel handling on 14 March 1985. With the breakup of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West, and it became unstaffed on 1 April 2005. The original 1920 wooden station building survives behind a later facade; the line's speed-up project replaced its turnouts with 100 km/h Y-points and converted the former third track into a siding used to load PC sleepers from a nearby factory.
Notes
The station originally had two platforms serving three tracks; new rail has since been laid on the site of the removed former track 3, and it is used to load PC (prestressed concrete) sleepers, produced at the Kyokutō Kōwa Gōtsu PC plant behind the station, onto maintenance-of-way freight cars.
