History

Shin-Mobara Station opened on 15 September 1955 as a Japanese National Railways passenger station on the Sotobō Line in Mobara, Chiba Prefecture. From 1 December 1981 the station handled freight, with the Mitsui Tōatsu Kagaku (now Mitsui Chemicals Mobara) factory spur transferred from Mobara Station. The line passed to JR East and JR Freight at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. Specialised-spur container traffic ran from 1 October 1994 to 16 March 1996, and JR Freight operations ended on 1 April 1999. Daytime Keiyō Line through rapid services began stopping from 4 December 2010, and in the 16 March 2024 timetable revision the Keiyō Line commuter rapids and the rapid services that had passed the station were withdrawn, so that all regular rapid services other than those through-running to the Sōbu Line now call here.
