History

The Hachinohe Line opened in 1891 as the Nippon Railway, which connected Ueno in Tokyo with Aomori in Aomori Prefecture. This line later became the Tōhoku Main Line. However, the route bypassed the center of Hachinohe.

In 1894, a spur line connecting Shiriuchi (now Hachinohe) on the Tōhoku Main Line with Hachinohe (now Hon-Hachinohe was completed. This line was soon extended south to the now-defunct Minato Station. After the nationalization of Nippon Railway in 1907, the spur line was re-named the Hachinohe Line in 1909. From 1924, the line's name was written with its current characters, and the southern terminus of the line was extended to Taneichi in Iwate Prefecture. The following year it reached Rikuchū-Yagi, and in 1930 it reached its present southern terminus of Kuji where it connected to the Sanriku Railway Kita-Riasu Line, which links Kuji with Miyako in southern Iwate. Freight operations were phased out at most stations between 1982 and 1986.

With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the Hachinohe Line came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East), with remaining freight operations transferred to the Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight) at Hachinohe Freight Terminal. Between 2004 and 2005, with increasing automation and pressure to cut costs,[citation needed] most stations on the Hachinohe Line became unattended. A new centralized traffic control system came online in 2005.

2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami

The line was damaged by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011, and services were suspended on the section between Taneichi and Iwate, with a number of vehicles trapped at Kuji Station. Services over the entire line are scheduled to resume from March 17, 2012.[1]
