Hakodate Main Line
The Hakodate Main Line (函館本線 Hakodate-honsen) is a railway line between the cities of Hakodate and Asahikawa in Hokkaido, Japan. It is one of the trunk lines operated by the Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido).
Hokkaidō Shinkansen stations are planned to be built at Oshima-Ōno, Kutchan, Oshamambe, and Sapporo.
History
Construction of the line began with the Otaru - Sapporo segment in 1880, and was completed by 1898.
In August 2013, three cars of a 20-car freight train derailed on the line near Yakumo Town after striking a two-meter piece of wood that obstructed the tracks. Although there were no injuries, the line was temporarily closed, impacting rail service to and from Hakodate Station.[1]
