History
Ajikawaguchi Station opened on 5 April 1898 with the inauguration of the privately built Nishinari Railway between Osaka and Ajikawaguchi. The line was extended in 1905, nationalised on 1 December 1906, and became part of the Sakurajima Line in 1961. On 29 January 1940 a derailed gasoline-powered railcar caught fire in the station yard, an accident that killed 181 passengers. A freight branch to Ōsaka-hokkō Station operated from 1943 to 1982. Today the station is a key JR Freight terminal handling the M250 "Super Rail Cargo" container service to Tokyo, with a container platform worked by the on-track (E&S) loading system and sidings running to chemical tanks on adjacent waterfront land.
