History
Musashi-Shinjō Station opened on 9 March 1927 as Musashi-Shinjō Stop on the private Nambu Railway when the first Kawasaki–Noborito section came online. Nationalisation on 1 April 1944 promoted the stop to a full station under the Ministry of Transport’s Nambu Line, later passing to Japanese National Railways. JR East assumed operation on 1 April 1987. The down-bound track was elevated on 27 November 1988 and the up-bound track on 20 December 1990, completing the conversion to an elevated station with a single island platform. Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001, and on 9 April 2011 Musashi-Shinjō became a stop on the revived Nambu Line rapid service. Smart platform doors entered service on 8 November 2023.
Notes
The station's automated platform announcements have been changed three times in under six years — from Tōkaidō-type to Sōbu-type in August 2000, to Senseki-type in December 2005, and to ATOS-type in April 2006.
