History

Taitō Station was opened on December 13, 1899 as a station on the Bōsō Railway. On September 1, 1907, the Bōsō Railway was nationalized and became part of the Japanese Government Railways, which was transformed into the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued on October 1, 1962. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways on April 1, 1987.

gollark: Thanks, split personality!

gollark: I don't know why.

gollark: It's an attempted port of https://github.com/TomSmeets/FractalArt/blob/master/src/Main.hs which has some weirdness with generating "blotchy" images.

gollark: Also, rust code here: https://pastebin.com/8EPmv539

gollark: Anyway, bitops/base conversions are annoying to do for humans, since our brains are just not really set up that way (without training, which takes a while), but computers happily do billions a second.
