Soneda Station (曽根田駅, Soneda eki) is a train station located in the city of Fukushima, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan operated by Fukushima Kōtsū.
Lines
[edit]Soneda Station is served by the Iizaka Line and is located 0.6 km from the starting point of the line at Fukushima.
Station layout
[edit]Soneda Station has one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The ticket window is staffed in the morning and evening. There is a proof-of-departure ticket machine, a restroom, a beverage vending machine, a waiting room, and a flower shop located at the station. The station used to be capable of being used as a passing loop, however this is no longer possible due to the east-side track being decommissioned for through traffic. The Iizaka Line's rail yard also used to be located at Soneda, but it was moved to Sakuramizu in 1975.
History
[edit]
- 1924, April 13 — Soneda Station opens along with the opening of the Fukushima Iizaka Tramway (福島飯坂電車軌道, Fukushima Iizaka Dennsha Kidō)
- 1942 — Due to the section of track between Fukushima and Moriai (present-day Bijutsukantoshokanmae) being changed to dedicated tramway track, Soneda and Moriai stations are shut down. Moriai Station is reopened in a new location, and Dentetsu Fukushima Station (電鉄福島駅) (present-day Soneda Station) is opened.
- 1962 — Dentetsu Fukushima Station is renamed to Soneda Station.
- 2010 — Soneda is repainted to have a red roof and cream walls in the image of the Tokyu 5000 series trains that ran on the Iizaka Line until 1991.
