Akabuchi Station - Iwate District

Soothing

It should be nothing.

You can see the Shinkansen running so close!

It is an unmanned station along the 46 bypass. There is also a river nearby where ayu and yamame trout swim. ️There are about 20 houses surrounded by mountains. However, it is a beautiful place with natural hot springs.

Previously, it was introduced in a video of Mr. Nogami, a railroad YouTuber.

It is a station along the national highway. The premises were large, and rails for track maintenance were placed. For the first train from Morioka to Omagari, the work to disconnect the train was done here.

It has a maintenance base line. On that day, Tokio ballast sprayers BCS-T09B-SNC and B18S007 were detained.

It is a station on the Tazawako Line, 5 stops from Morioka Station. If you come from the Morioka side, it is the last station in Iwate prefecture, and it seems that the distance between the stations is 18.1km beyond the pass to the next station, Tazawako station. If you take the first train from Morioka Station to Omagari, you will be separated here. I thought it was a little unusual and interesting operation. 1. 1. Depart Morioka Station in a 6-car train. However, only the front two cars are treated as customers, and the rear four cars are treated as deadheads. 2. 2. At this point, the 4 cars of the deadhead are separated, and the front 2 cars head for Omagari station. 3. 3. At first, the rear four cars were partially off the platform and stopped, but they are moved a little according to the platform. 4. It will be the first train at this station, and 4 cars will operate for Morioka. However, this station itself is an unmanned station without a station building. Although it is along the national highway, it is not very noticeable and there are few private houses around the station. Regular trains that cross the prefectural border make only four round trips a day. Many regular trains on the Iwate prefecture side are also set to return at Shizukuishi station, and many flights do not come to this station. Of course, all trains pass through the Akita Shinkansen "Komachi". There are some stations where the work of increasing and disassembling trains is carried out nationwide, but I think there are not many patterns that are carried out at completely unmanned stations without station staff or facilities.
