[edit] History
Tsurumi Station was opened on November 15, 1872 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (the predecessor to the Japan National Railways, or JNR) Tōkaidō Main Line, initially for passenger operations only. Freight services started on April 1, 1898. The Keihin Line began operations to Tsurumi from December 20, 1914. On December 23, 1934, the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway (present-day Tsurumi Line) connected to Tsurumi Station. The station was the location of a major railway accident, the Tsurumi Accident on November 9, 1963. It was one of the five major post-war JNR accidents. Freight services were discontinued from November 1, 1974. Upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987 the station has been operated by JR East.
