History

[edit]

In 1894, aspur lineconnecting Shiriuchi (nowHachinohe) on theTohoku Main Linewith Hachinohe (nowHon-Hachinohewas completed. This line was soon extended south to the now-defunct Minato Station. After the nationalization of the Nippon Railway in 1907, the spur line was renamed the Hachinohe Line in 1909. From 1924, the line's name was written with its currentcharacters,and the southern terminus of the line was extended toTaneichiin Iwate Prefecture. The following year it reachedRikuchū-Yagi,and in 1930 it reached its present southern terminus ofKujiwhere it connected to theSanriku RailwayKita-Rias Line,which links Kuji withMiyakoin southern Iwate. Freight operations were phased out at most stations between 1982 and 1986.[citation needed]

With the privatization of theJapanese National Railways(JNR) on April 1, 1987, the Hachinohe Line came under the control of theEast Japan Railway Company(JR East), with remaining freight operations transferred to theJapan Freight Railway Company(JR Freight) atHachinohe Freight Terminal.
