description
Nishi-Kajima is a combined through and terminus station . It is on the one hand on the Tenryū Hamanako line of the Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō railway company , which connects Kakegawa with Shinjohara . On the other hand, it is the northern terminus of the Enshū railway line operated by Enshū Tetsudō , which leads to Shin-Hamamatsu . On the Tenryū-Hamanako line, regional trains usually run at approximately hourly intervals, which are condensed into half-hourly intervals during rush hour. In the morning and in the evening, the trains run the entire route, while there is an operational division in Tenryū-Futamata during the day and changes must be made there. Trains on the Enshū railway line run at a fixed frequency every twelve minutes, in the early morning and late evening every 20 minutes. The bus terminal on the station forecourt is served by over a dozen lines operated by Entetsu Bus and the Hamamatsu city bus company.
The station is in the Futamatachō-Kajima district, about half a kilometer south of the Tenryū River . The facility is oriented from south to north and has five tracks, three of which are used for passenger traffic. These are two central platforms , which by a person tunnel with the reception building are connected on the east side. The westernmost track is used for through traffic on the Tenryū-Hamanako line, while the two tracks of the Enshū railway line end in the middle in the adjoining hall of the depot . The two easternmost tracks serve as parking facilities. South of the station is a double-track storage hall for the Enshū railway line. There is no track connection between the two lines.
In 2016, the station counted an average of 3432 passengers a day.
history
The tram company Dai Nippon Kidō ( 大 日本 軌道 ), which operates in several Japanese cities, opened today's Enshū railway line with a gauge of 762 mm on December 6, 1909 . The northern terminus Kajima ( 鹿島 ) was then near the river bank. Two years after the independence of Enshū tetsudō the route to 1067mm (Cape gauge) was umgespurt and the terminal station in Enshū-Futamata ( 遠州二俣 ) renamed. The construction of the Futamata Line (today's Tenryū-Hamanako Line ) by the Ministry of Railways made it necessary to relocate the terminus by around 400 meters south to the current location on March 1, 1938; on the same day the name was changed to Nishi-Kajima. With the opening of the Futamata line on June 1, 1940, the station became a transport hub.
In the years 1958 to 1968 individual trains ran from Enshū Tetsudō via Nishi-Kajima to Tenryū-Futamata . For cost reasons, the Japanese State Railways stopped handling goods on June 1, 1970, and on April 1, 1971, they left their part of the station area to the Enshū Tetsudō. This moved its depot from Enshū-Nishigasaki here on December 1977. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the new railway company Tenryū Hamanako Tetsudō took over the Futamata line and the part of the station belonging to it on March 15, 1987.
