History

Shin-Shibaura Station opened on 10 June 1932 as the terminus of a private Tsurumi Rinkō Railway spur from Asano, built to serve the adjacent Shibaura Manufacturing (later Toshiba) plant on reclaimed land in Tsurumi Ward, Yokohama. The line was pushed further to Umi-Shibaura on 1 November 1940, and the Tsurumi Rinkō Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1943, bringing the stop into the Ministry of Railways' Tsurumi Line. It became unstaffed on 1 March 1971, joined JR East and JR Freight at the 1 April 1987 JNR breakup, and began Suica acceptance on 22 March 2002. Ticket and IC-charge functions ended on 30 September 2016. The station number is JI 51.

Notes

Although freight trains rarely call, extraordinary loaded "oversized cargo" trains using flatcars (large-component cars) sometimes serve the station to move transformers and similar heavy equipment to and from Toshiba's Keihin Works via the connecting siding.
