Location
History
Negishi Station opened on 19 May 1964 with the inauguration of the Negishi Line's Sakuragichō–Isogo section; freight handling began on 1 June 1964 with the completion of the Takashima Line, and on 1 October 1969 the Kanagawa Rinkai Railway's freight-only Honmoku Line opened to Honmoku Pier. The station passed to JR East and JR Freight at the 1 April 1987 JNR breakup. Automatic ticket gates entered service on 6 October 1993 and Suica on 18 November 2001. After the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake, tank cars dispatched from Negishi covered emergency fuel routing via Niigata and Aomori to the Morioka Freight Terminal.
Notes
Negishi handles more car-load freight tonnage than any other Japanese station, with petroleum products from the adjacent ENEOS refinery making it the country's largest tank-car shipper as of 2008.
