Karasuyama Station (烏山駅, Karasuyama-eki) is a railway station on the Karasuyama Line in Nasukarasuyama, Tochigi, Japan, operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
Lines
Karasuyama Station forms the terminus of the Karasuyama Line, a 20.4 km branch line from Hōshakuji.
Station layout
The station consists of one side platform serving a single track. The station formerly had a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office, but this closed from August 2013, and tickets are available only from ticket vending machines.[1]
In February 2012, a recharging facility was built at the station for use by the experimental NE Train battery railcar, which is undergoing testing on the line. The recharging facility consists of a rigid overhead conductor enabling the train to be recharged via its pantograph. The overhead conductor bar is electrified at 1,500 V DC, powered from the local electricity grid 6.6 kV AC supply.[2]
