Soneda Station's platform
Soneda Station (曽根田駅 Soneda Eki) is a train station located in Fukushima, Fukushima, Japan. It is on Fukushima Transportation's Iizaka Line.
Station layout
Soneda is a single-platform two-track above-ground station. The ticket window is manned in the morning and evening.
There is a proof-of-departure ticket machine, a restroom, a beverage vending machine, a waiting room, and a flower shop located at the station.
The station used to be capable of being used as a passing loop, however this is no longer possible due to the east-side track being decommissioned for through traffic. The Iizaka Line's rail yard also used to be located at Soneda, but it was moved to Sakuramizu in 1975.
History
Tokyu 5000 series car operated by Nagano Electric Railway showing the color scheme the repainted station is based on
- 1924, April 13 — Soneda Station opens along with the opening of the Fukushima Iizaka Tramway (福島飯坂電車軌道 Fukushima Iizaka Dennsha Kidō)
- 1942 — Due to the section of track between Fukushima and Moriai (present-day Bijutsukantoshokanmae) being changed to dedicated tramway track, Soneda and Moriai stations are shut down. Moriai Station is reopened in a new location, and Dentetsu Fukushima Station (電鉄福島駅) (present-day Soneda Station) is opened.
- 1962 — Dentetsu Fukushima Station is renamed to Soneda Station.
- 2010 — Soneda is repainted to have a red roof and cream walls in the image of the Tokyu 5000 series trains that ran on the Iizaka Line until 1991.
