Soneda Station (曽根田駅, Soneda Eki) is a train station located in Fukushima, Fukushima, Japan. It is on Fukushima Transportation's Iizaka Line.
Station layout
Soneda is a single-platform two-track above-ground station. The ticket window is manned in the morning and evening.
There is a proof-of-departure ticket machine, a restroom, a beverage vending machine, a waiting room, and a flower shop located at the station.
The station used to be capable of being used as a passing loop, however this is no longer possible due to the east-side track being decommissioned for through traffic. The Iizaka Line's rail yard also used to be located at Soneda, but it was moved to Sakuramizu in 1975.
History
- 1924, April 13 — Soneda Station opens along with the opening of the Fukushima Iizaka Tramway (福島飯坂電車軌道, Fukushima Iizaka Dennsha Kidō)
- 1942 — Due to the section of track between Fukushima and Moriai (present-day Bijutsukantoshokanmae) being changed to dedicated tramway track, Soneda and Moriai stations are shut down. Moriai Station is reopened in a new location, and Dentetsu Fukushima Station (電鉄福島駅) (present-day Soneda Station) is opened.
- 1962 — Dentetsu Fukushima Station is renamed to Soneda Station.
- 2010 — Soneda is repainted to have a red roof and cream walls in the image of the Tokyu 5000 series trains that ran on the Iizaka Line until 1991.
