Location

History

Shadai Station began on 25 December 1907 as the Shadai signal post of the Imperial Railway Agency. It was promoted to a freight station — Shadai Station — on 15 October 1909, and started carrying passengers and parcels on 1 June 1917. Freight handling ended on 29 September 1961, parcels on 15 May 1980, and the station was unstaffed under simple commission from the same day. A new building replaced the previous one in January 1981, the simple commission lapsed on 1 April 1984, and JR Hokkaido inherited the now fully unstaffed station at the 1987 privatisation. The station has a single island platform serving two tracks; a side-line on the down side once doubled as a bidirectional siding around 1983.

Notes

From Shadai eastward to just before Numanohata, the Muroran Main Line runs straight for 28.7 km; the straight section in fact begins between Shiraoi and Shadai.
