history
The railway company Sanshin Tetsudō opened on November 11, 1934 a section that led from Tōei to this point. The station was initially called Sakuma ( 佐 久 間 ) and was the terminus for two years. On May 24, 1935, he was given the name Nakappe-Tenryu and on November 10, 1936 the line was extended to Tenryu-Yamamuro. The station has had its current name since March 24, 1942, although the Kanji characters remained the same and only the reading changed. The railway systems of the Sanshin Tetsudō were nationalized on August 1, 1943 and from then on formed part of the continuous Iida line. The Ministry of Railways was responsible for the operation , from 1949 the Japanese State Railways .
In the 1950s, the state railway planned the construction of the Sakuma line , which should branch off in Chūbu-Tenryū and lead to Tenryū-Futamata . Although construction began in 1967, it had to be stopped in 1980 due to lack of money; to this day the route has remained unfinished. For cost reasons, the state railway severely restricted freight traffic on October 1, 1980 and finally gave it up on March 31, 1982; on February 1, 1984 the baggage check also disappeared. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the ownership of the new company JR Central on April 1, 1987 .
Sakuma Rail Park
Immediately north of the station is the site of a former depot . Since JR Central no longer needed the system, the company set up a small open-air railway museum there. The Sakuma Rail Park ( 佐 久 間 レ ー ル パ ー ク , Sakuma Rēru Pāku ) opened its doors on April 21, 1991. More than a dozen different railcars , locomotives , passenger and freight cars of the state railway and the regional predecessor companies it took over were exhibited. The main attraction was a power car of the 0 Series Shinkansen . In the adjoining service building there were model railroad systems and an exhibition on the history of the Iida line. After the museum was closed on November 1, 2009, most of the vehicles on display were brought to Nagoya , where they can be seen in the SCMaglev and Railway Park, which opened in 2011 .
