Iyo-Tachikawa Station (伊予立川駅, Iyo-Tachikawa-eki) is a passenger railway station located in the town of Uchiko, Kita District, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by JR Shikoku and has the station number "U09".[1][2]
Lines
The station is served by the Uchiko branch line of the Yosan Line and is located 225.4 km from the beginning of the line at Takamatsu.[3] Only local trains serve the station. Eastbound local trains terminate at Matsuyama. Connections with other services are needed to travel further east of Matsuyama on the line.[4]
Layout
Iyo-Tachikawa Statio, which is unstaffed, consists of an island platform serving two elevated tracks. There is no station building, only a shelter on the platform for waiting passengers. Access to the island platform is by means of a tunnel under the elevated structure leading to a flight of steps. A bike shed is provided at the base of the elevated structure.[2][5][3]
History
Iyo-Tachikawa Statio was opened by Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 3 March 1986. It was among a string of three intermediate stations which were set up during the construction of a new stretch of track to link Mukaibara with the Uchiko Line at Uchiko, to create what would later become the Uchiko branch of the Yosan Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, control of the station passed to JR Shikoku.[6][7]
