Senoue

History

Senoue Station opened on 1 July 1988 on the Abukuma Express Line in the city of Fukushima, Fukushima Prefecture, when the line was inaugurated as a successor to the former JNR Marumori Line. The station sits 7.5 km from the Fukushima terminus and consists of two opposed side platforms, each with two tracks, connected by an underground passage. There is no station building, and the station is unattended. The surrounding area is mixed residential and industrial, with apple orchards to the south. The town promotes Senoue as “the village of apples”. In fiscal 2016 the station averaged 162 boarding passengers per day. A long siding remains from a planned, never-built freight-train passing area.

Notes

Senoue retains an unused safety-siding zone reserved during construction of the Marumori Line for long freight trains that never operated; it sits well away from the current platforms.
