Hama-Tombetsu was a separation station on the Tenpoku Line that ran from Otoineppu to Wakkanai . Here the Kōhin north line branched off to Kitami-Esashi . The station was in the city center and faced north to south. It had three tracks for passenger traffic, which were on the house platform and on a central platform . The latter was connected to the reception building on the east side of the facility by a covered overpass . There were also several freight tracks, a small depot and a turntable on the west side .
The former station building has been converted into a bus terminal . It is operated by the city administration and served by regional and long-distance lines of the company Soya Bus . The city library and a small museum on railway history are located on the second floor. Most of the former track field is now a park , while the former railway line is used as a cycle path .
history
The Ministry of Railways opened the station on August 25, 1918, along with the Naka-Tombetsu-Hama-Tombetsu section of the Tenpoku Line . The station was the northern terminus for a little over a year, until the opening of the subsequent section to Asajino on November 1, 1919. With the opening of the Kōhin north line on July 10, 1936, Hama-Tombetsu changed from a through to one Separation station. On August 26, 1942, a new station building was put into operation, but it burned down on December 10, 1943; the reconstruction lasted until August 15, 1944. To support rationing measures towards the end of the Pacific War , rail operations on the Kōhin Northern Line were temporarily suspended from November 1, 1944 to December 5, 1945.
The Japanese state railway led from 1961 an express train daily between Sapporo and Wakkanai on the Tenpoku line, stopping in Hama-Tombetsu. In 1969 she carried out a renovation of the reception building. For cost reasons, the state railroad stopped the handling of goods and the baggage check on February 1, 1984, and on July 1, 1985 it shut down the northern Kōhin line. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of JR Hokkaido on April 1, 1987 . A little more than two years later, on May 1, 1989, this also shut down the Tenpoku line.
