Hikosan Station (彦山駅, Hikosan-eki) was a passenger railway station located in the town of Soeda, Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Kyushu. [1]
Lines
[edit]Hikosan Station was served by the Hitahikosan Line and was located 47.2 km from the starting point of the line at Jōno.[2] Hikosan is the last station for southbound trains before entering the 4380 m Shakadake Tunnel between here and Chikuzen Iwaya Station, which involved a fatal collapse during construction in 1953, claiming the lives of 21 construction workers.
Layout
[edit]The railway station consisted of two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing. The station was unattended.[2] After the discontinuation of train service, equipment attached to the railway station will be removed, and the platform and surrounding railway tracks was removed.
History
[edit]The station opened on 25 August 1942. On 5 July 2017, all services were suspended due to damage to the tracks and railway infrastructure due to torrential rains. Rail service was officially replaced by a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service on 28 August 2023.[3][4][5]。
