history
On December 1, 1931, the Ōigawa Tetsudō opened the Senzu station, together with the last section of the Ōigawa main line beginning in Aobe . The electricity company Ōigawa Denki (later merged into Chūbu Denryoku ) took the route from Senzu to Sawama into operation on March 20, 1935. This first section of the Ikawa line initially possessed mm a gauge of 762, but received one already on November 19, 1936 Three rail track , so that kapspurige could trains.
The narrower gauge was retained for the time being. This enabled the trains of the Senzu forest railway branching off in Sawama to go directly to Senzu in order to facilitate the loading of wood onto freight trains of the Ōigawa Tetsudō. This railway company took over operations on the Ikawa line on August 1, 1959, but the line is still owned by Chūbu Denryoku. After the closure of the Senzu forest railway in 1969, the three-rail track was removed.
