Location

History

Kyushu Railway History Museum Station opened on 26 April 2009 as the terminus of the heritage Mojikō Retro Scenic Line, operated by Heisei Chikuhō Railway in the Moji ward of Kitakyushu. The station's planning-stage provisional name was Mojikō, after the adjacent JR Kyushu station, but JR Kyushu itself bought the naming rights and named the stop after the nearby Kyushu Railway History Museum. It is a staffed station with a single platform and one track; despite being immediately alongside JR Kyushu's Mojikō Station yard the heritage line is severed from it by a buffer stop. The Shiokaze excursion train runs about eleven daily round trips on weekends and holidays between March and November.

Notes

Although the heritage line's terminus stands immediately beside JR Kyushu's Mojikō Station yard, the two are physically disconnected: a buffer stop was installed when the Retro Scenic Line was built.
