Ishiyagawa Station (石屋川駅, Ishiyagawa-eki, station number: HS-26) is a passenger railway station located in Higashinada-ku, Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company Hanshin Electric Railway.[1]
Lines
[edit]Ishiyagawa Station is served by the Hanshin Main Line, and is located 26.6 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Umeda.
Layout
[edit]The station consists of one elevated island platform serving two tracks. Part of the platform crosses the Ishiya River. The effective length of the platform is 120 meters, which corresponds to a 19-meter-class Hanshin 6-car train. However, only 4-car trains stop at this station. The Ishiyagawa rail yard is located on the Sannomiya side of the station, and there is a crossover track. There is only one ticket gate on the ground level.

History
[edit]Ishiyagawa Station opened on the Hanshin Main Line on 12 April 1905.[2]
Service was suspended owing to the Great Hanshin earthquake in January 1995. Restoration work on the Hanshin Main Line took 7 months to complete.[2] The station was reconstructed as an island platform station, instead of its previous two opposed side platform configuration.
Station numbering was introduced on 21 December 2013, with Ishiyagawa being designated as station number HS-26.[3]
