The Sunzu Line ( Japanese 駿 豆 線 , Sunzu-sen ) is a railway line on the Japanese island of Honshū , which is operated by the Izuhakone Tetsudō railway company . In Shizuoka Prefecture , it leads from Mishima to Izu in the west of the Izu Peninsula .
description
The Sunzu Line, laid in Cape Gauge (1067 mm), is 19.8 km long, single-track and electrified with 1500 V direct current . It serves 13 train stations and stops and has a top speed of 85 km / h. With two exceptions, train crossings are possible at all intermediate stops. The route begins at Mishima station , where there is a connection to the Tōkaidō main line and the Tōkaidō-Shinkansen high-speed line . The operational focus is the Daiba train station on the outskirts of Mishima. It is the location of the headquarters of the Izuhakone Tetsudō, a depot and a railway depot , in which the trains running on the Daiyūzan line are maintained. The route then reaches the Kano valley and follows this river to its terminus, Shuzenji train station in the city of Izu.
Trains
The Sunzu Line's timetable is very tight. From 5:30 a.m. until just before midnight, regional trains run approximately every 15 to 20 minutes, and every 8 to 12 minutes during rush hour. The first and last train of the day leaves or goes to Daiba. The travel time for the entire route is 34 minutes. In addition, the Sunzu-line is Odoriko - express trains traveled, together with JR Central and JR East are operated. They enable connection-free connections from Tokyo via Yokohama and Mishima to Shuzenji. Monday through Friday there are two pairs of trains a day, and three or four pairs of trains on Saturdays and Sundays.
history
The railway company Zusō Tetsudō ( 豆 相 鉄 道 ), founded in 1893, set itself the goal of connecting the town of Ōhito in the west of the Izu Peninsula (now part of Izunokuni ) to the Tōkaidō main line . Numazu was initially planned as the northern starting point , but the city of Mishima , which had not previously benefited from the construction of the railway, made land available free of charge and thus prevailed. On May 20, 1898, the Zusō Tetsudō opened the first section between Mishima-machi ( 三島 町 , today Mishima-Tamachi) and Nanjō ( 南 条 , today Izu-Nagaoka). Almost four weeks later, on June 15, 1898, the extension to Mishima ( 三島 , today Shimo-Togari ) followed at the northern end . From July 17, 1898, the railway operated to the provisional southern terminus Ōhito.
From 1919 to 1959 there was a track connection to the Numazu tram . The line went into the possession of Izu Tetsudō ( 伊豆 鉄 道 ) on July 19, 1907 , who in turn went up on April 1, 1912 in the Sunzu Denki Tetsudō ( 駿 豆 電 気 鉄 道 ). This company merged on October 5, 1916 with the Fuji electricity company, which two days later spun off the railway line in the subsidiary Sunzu Tetsudō ( 駿 豆 鉄 道 ). On August 10, 1918, the section between Mishima-Tamachi and Daiba was electrified with 600 V DC . The section between Mishima-Tamachi and Shimo-Togari was electrified on May 25, 1919, with the Daiba – Ōhito section on June 5, 1919, electrification was completed. The Sunzu Tetsudō extended the route at its southern end by three kilometers and took the Ōhito– Shuzenji section into operation on August 1, 1924 .
In May 1933, trains began to run to and from Tokyo on weekends . A year later, a completely new situation arose with the new routing of the Tōkaidō main line through the Tanna tunnel . The Sunzu Tetsudō put the section between Mishima-Hirokōji and Shimo-Togari shut down on December 1, 1934 and took today's route to Mishima station into operation. The Izuhakone Tetsudō, as the railway company called itself from 1957, relocated the depot and depot in the same year from the city center to Daiba station. The flooding of the Kano caused by Typhoon Ida on September 26, 1958 caused great damage, which could be repaired after two weeks. On September 1, 1959, the electrical voltage was increased from 600 to 1500 V.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the Izuhakone Tetsudō carried out an extensive modernization of the Sunzu line, on June 16, 1972, it stopped freight traffic. On April 1, 2005, the independence of Izuhakone Tetsudō ended and the company went on in the Seibu Group , which includes the Seibu Tetsudō railway company in the Tokyo area. After equipping all stations with automatic platform barriers, the trains have been running in one-man operation since April 1, 2009. In April 2015, the Railway Technical Research Institute of the JR Group carried out the world's first successful test of superconducting cables between traction power substations between Takyo and Shuzenji .
