history

Aerial view (1976)

The mining and railway company Hokkaidō Tankō Tetsudō opened on November 1, 1892 the Yūbari line from Oiwake to Yūbari , which was mainly used to transport the coal mined in the Yūbari mining area . On the same day, it also opened the Momijiyama ( 紅葉 山 ) station . After nationalization on July 1, 1906, the Railway Office (later the Ministry of Railways ) was responsible. It opened a short branch line from Momojiyama to Kaede on May 16, 1907 and extended it to Noborikawa on July 11, 1916. From 1915 to 1932 the Yūbari line was expanded to two tracks.

In the mid-1970s, extensive construction began on a new, more direct railway line through the Hidaka Mountains to the east of the island. The route through Momojiyama was relocated by around 50 meters, which necessitated the construction of a new train station. After the Japanese State Railways abandoned cargo handling on May 25, 1981, it closed the Noborikawa branch on June 1, 1981. The Sekishō line opened on October 1, 1981, along with the new Shin-Yūbari station. Baggage check was offered until February 1, 1984. As part of the privatization of the state railway, the station passed into the possession of the new company JR Hokkaido on April 1, 1987 . The branch line to Yūbari was closed on April 1, 2019, since then Shin-Yūbari has only been a through station.
