History

Chibiki Station was opened on November 15, 1910 as a station on the Tōhoku Main Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), the pre-war predecessor to the Japan National Railways (JNR). On October 20, 1962, it became a joint station with the now defunct Nanbu Jūkan Railway. On August 5, 1968, the routing of the Tōhoku Main Line slightly changed, and a new station was built, with the original Chibiki Station renamed Nishi-Chibiki Station (西千曳駅) serving only the Nanbu Jūkan Railway. Regularly scheduled freight services were also discontinued with the move. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

The section of the Tōhoku Main Line including this station was transferred to Aoimori Railway on December 4, 2010.

Surrounding area

The station is located in a very rural setting with no houses or buildings within walking distance.

gollark: I suppose you could be uploading it to random filesharing website #1201275198 with some difficulty, but same principle.

gollark: How are you planning to upload 30GB of random content to Discord? How is anyone meant to LOOK THROUGH that?

gollark: Thus, no.

gollark: That's Wikipedia with images, even; a raw dump with just text is 15GB.
