SL Steam Locomotive 9600 Rumoi Main Line: The Harmony of 96's Boiler and Blast Sound
The Rumoi Main Line is a railway line connecting Fukagawa City and Rumoi City in Hokkaido. Opened in 1910, it contributed to the region's development, but due to a recent decline in passengers, its closure has been decided.
Opening and Development
The Rumoi Main Line's section from Fukagawa Station to Rumoi Station (now Rumoi Station) opened on November 23, 1910. The section from Rumoi Station to Mashike Station opened on November 5, 1921. This line was initially built to transport timber, coal, and seafood to Rumoi Port. Along the line were Tonden settlements and coal mines, and it functioned as an important transportation route for the region. It was particularly prosperous in the Showa era due to coal transportation, but all coal mines in the Rumoi coalfield closed by 1970.
Background of Closure
In recent years, the Rumoi Main Line has faced a decline in passengers. The Rumoi to Mashike section was closed in 2016, and the Ishikari-Numata to Rumoi section was closed in 2023. The remaining section from Fukagawa to Ishikari-Numata is also scheduled for closure in 2026. The main reasons for the closure are the decrease in passengers and the emergence of alternative transportation due to the opening of high-standard roads. The extension of the Dōō Expressway and the improvement of National Route 231 have had a particular impact.
Current Situation
The Rumoi Main Line, once an important route served by express trains, now primarily serves high school students commuting to school and tourists. The area boasts beautiful nature and historical structures, attracting the attention of railway enthusiasts and tourists. The decision to close the line is a significant loss for the local residents, and a sense of sadness is spreading.
The history of the Rumoi Main Line is that of an important railway line that has progressed alongside the region's development, and its closure affects many people.
