History
Shiohama Station opened on 25 October 1919 as a stop on the Ise Railway. Through successive corporate consolidations the operator became Sangū Express Electric Railway (1936), Kansai Express Railway (1941) and finally Kintetsu in 1944, and the line itself was renamed the Nagoya Line in 1938. A new station building was completed on 23 June 1986. A separate Japanese Government Railways freight terminal opened alongside on 1 June 1944 and later passed through JNR to JR Freight in 1987. Containerised freight ran from 1962 to 1975, and again from 1988 to 1996; freight operations use the Kansai Main Line freight branch.
Notes
Although the passenger station is on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line, the freight yard alongside it sits on JR Freight’s short branch of the Kansai Main Line, so the two operators’ tracks share the same site.
