Chikuzen-Shōnai Station (筑前庄内駅, Chikuzen-Shōnai-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Iizuka, Fukuoka, Japan. It is operated by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu).[1]
Lines
[edit]Chikuzen-Shōnai Station is served by the Gotōji Line and is 7.1 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Tagawa-Gotōji.[1]
Layout
[edit]The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The station is unattended. [1]
History
[edit]The station was opened on 15 July 1926 as a station on the Kyushu Sangyo Railway (later Sangyo Cement Railway). On 1 July 1943 the Industrial Cement Railway was nationalized through a wartime acquisition and the station became part of the Gotōji Line. With the privatization of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Kyushu.
