Location
History
Nakagawa Station opened on 3 November 1903 on the Ōu Main Line in what is today the city of Nanyō, Yamagata Prefecture. The station is located 64.4 rail kilometres from the line's terminus at Fukushima and falls within the section nicknamed the Yamagata Line. Freight handling was abolished on 1 October 1969 and parcel handling on 3 February 1975, after which the station became unstaffed. The station building was rebuilt on 1 April 1986, and on 1 April 1987 the station passed from Japanese National Railways to JR East with the privatisation of JNR. Two opposed side platforms remain in place, linked by a pedestrian overpass, although only one platform is currently in service.
Notes
Despite having two opposed side platforms, the station operates as a one-line-through layout in which both up and down trains normally use platform 1.
