Chashinai

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Chashinai Station opened on 15 July 1916 as a station of the Railway Bureau on what is now the Hakodate Main Line in Bibai, Hokkaidō. With the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways, operations passed to JR Hokkaido and JR Freight. Local infrastructure followed the rise and decline of coal: the Mitsubishi Mining Chashinai colliery railway operated a connecting line from 1952 until 1967, and after 1986 staff numbers were progressively cut until the station was made unattended in December 1997. Although JR Freight technically retains the station as an occasional carload-freight stop, scheduled freight services ended on 4 June 2002 with the closure of the Nippon Oil Bibai oil depot's siding. Kitaca IC card service began on 16 March 2024.

On 5 May 2013, a fire broke out beneath car 1 of the Asahikawa-to-Sapporo limited express "Super Kamui 6" while it was running; the train made an unscheduled stop at this station, where the conductor put out the fire with a fire extinguisher.
