Location
History
Shingū Station opened on 1 March 1913 as the terminus of the Shingu Railway in what is now the city of Shingū, Wakayama Prefecture. The railway was nationalized on 1 July 1934, and on 20 May 1938 the station was relocated 40 metres south of its original site. The station building burned down on 21 January 1951 after a fire started in the checked-luggage room. Freight handling was discontinued on 1 November 1986, and with the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station came under the joint operation of JR West and JR Central. The station today is the boundary between JR West and JR Central on the Kisei Main Line.
Notes
Shingū is the boundary between JR West and JR Central on the Kisei Main Line: electrification ends at the station, and a sign at the north portal of the Tankaku tunnel marks the operational frontier.
