History
Shoro Station opened on 20 July 1901 as a station on the Hokkaidō Kansetsu Tetsudō. It passed to the government on 1 April 1905. Centralised traffic control over the Shōei Signal Box–Shin-Fuji section took effect on 1 August 1971, and on 2 October 1971 freight and parcel handling ended and the station became unstaffed under a simple consignment arrangement. Crossover sidings were removed in March 1987, and JR Hokkaido took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The consigned operation was discontinued and the stop made fully unstaffed on 1 April 1992.
Notes
Two serious derailments occurred on the station premises in the mid-1970s — a head-on freight collision on 10 November 1973, and on 13 April 1976 the Limited Express Ōzora No. 3 derailed with seven of its ten cars off the track and the rear two overturned.
