Sakae (Okayama)

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

Sakae Station (Okayama) stands on the site of the former Sakaemachi marshalling yard, which the city of Kurashiki had opened in the 1960s and which Mizushima Rinkai Railway took over on 1 April 1970. The yard was abolished on 29 February 1984 to make way for the new Kurashiki Freight Terminal, and Sakae opened as a passenger station on 3 March 1986. It was elevated onto a viaduct on 7 September 1992.

Because the station occupies the spacious footprint of the abolished marshalling yard, it is unusually roomy for a single-platform stop; before the 1992 elevation it had two opposed side platforms serving two tracks plus a central track, and trains passed one another here, but the viaduct cut this back to a single platform and track.
