Kusugawa Station

Kusugawa Station (久寿川駅) is a passenger railway station located in the city of Amagasaki Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company Hanshin Electric Railway.

Lines
Kusugawa Station is served by the Hanshin Main Line, and is located 14.8 km from the terminus of the line at Umeda.

Layout
The station consists of two opposed ground-level side platforms serving two tracks.

History
Imazu Station opened on 12 April 1905 along with the rest of the Hanshin Main Line. It would be renamed to its current name, Kusugawa Station, on 19 December 1929.

The station was the site of a derailment on 13 December 1949 when a runaway train from the Hankyu Line collided with the platform. At that time, Hankyu trains were slightly wider than the Hanshin trains. There was also a spur connecting to the Hankyū Imazu Line west of this location.

On 17 January 1995, all services were suspended due to the Great Hanshin earthquake. Service on the line was fully restored by 26 June 1995.

Station numbering was introduced on 21 December 2013, with Nishinomiya being designated as station number HS-15.
