Hayashima Station - Tsukubo District

The train stopped for more than an hour and a half with a signal trouble ... The station that made Takamatsu's day trip the worst

Good convenience of 10 to 15 minutes from Okayama. The number of trains is reasonable. It is very unfortunate that it will become an unmanned station from April 11, 2020.

The Seto Ohashi Line also has a partial double track section due to increased transportation capacity, but it is not "perfect", so once a "delay" occurs, the head will be held down around here. The downhill ordinary train I used to go to Kimi station was a place where the schedule after that was almost out of order due to the delay (about 3 minutes) of the uphill freight train. The Marine Liner stops separately from Seno and Hayashima during the day, but it is complicated because there are trains that stop at both stations in the morning and evening and also stop at Omoto, and uphill at Bizen-Nishiichi and Omoto. Driving is considered for both Okayama and Takamatsu.

Although it is a small station, it is convenient for the rapid marine liner to stop. Moreover, the waiting time is only a few minutes, which is connected to the slow train. A relay station that is appreciated when traveling by train from Shikoku.

Seto Ohashi Line station. A small station where limited express trains such as the Marine Liner stop. There is only one coffee shop around the station, and there is no place to eat. There is only one toilet outside the station for both men and women. A friendly station with a nostalgic atmosphere in the countryside.

The marine liner occasionally stops. The station building is solid. (I think it's a little small) It's a two-sided, two-line home. There is nothing around the station. (Maybe it's a little strange) But I'm sure I wrote it earlier, and if I don't walk a little, I feel like there are supermarkets and convenience stores. I feel like the bus was running. The tourist center is just outside the station. The surrounding area is full of rice fields. It seems that it has not prospered yet. I feel that there was a lot of traffic on the previous road. It's the main idea, but I'd like you to attach a push-button traffic light to the pedestrian crossing in front of the station.

The platform has 2 sides and 2 lines, but I feel that if another line is drawn in the space on the opposite side of the down platform, it will be possible to make 2 sides and 3 lines. After the opening of the Setoo Bridge, the Uno Line has many single-track sections for the number of trains, and in the past, passing trains sometimes stopped here. Since the front and back of the station were double-tracked in 2009, the passing trains do not stop now. At this station, there was such a "southern wind reverse run incident" before the extension of the double track section (see the article on October 23, 2000 in the Sanyo Shimbun). Around 20:00 on September 27, 2000, when the down marine No. 57 was waiting for the up freight train to pass at this station, the freight train was delayed on that day. After a while, the following down south wind No. 17 came and stopped in front of Hayashima station because there was a marine in front of me. On the other hand, the ascending freight train that passed Kuguhara Station had a southerly wind in the direction of travel, so it also stopped in front of Hayashima Station. Three trains were in a state of three-way, blocking the direction of travel of Marine No. 57. It was conceivable to guide the freight train to the up platform of Hayashima Station and cross the two down trains, but that is not possible because the total length of the freight train is 430m and the train stop section of this station is 202m. Therefore, I had no choice but to back the south wind to Senoo Station and pass it with the freight train there. The cause was a simple mistake in the control room where the south wind should have been waiting at Senoo Station until the freight train passed Senoo Station. By the way, I was on the subsequent downhill Marine No. 59 and waited for a long time until the freight train arrived at Bizen-Nishiichi Station, but I could not understand what happened, and the in-car broadcast said that it was a railroad crossing accident. I think it was.

Although it is an unmanned station, the Marine Liner stops. It seems that Hayashima used to grow rushes. Toilets are installed.
