Memorable National Railways and JR Album 1
The JR Sagami Line, which connects Chigasaki Station on the Tokaido Line and Hashimoto Station on the Yokohama Line at 33.3 kilometers, was opened on the Chigasaki side by the current Sagami Railway in 1921 (1921) and completed to Hashimoto in 1931 (1931). Later, in 1944 (1944) during the Pacific War, it was nationalized as part of the acquisition of private railways during wartime. It is said that the reason for nationalization was to secure a route to go around the center of the city called Hachiko Line, Yokohama Line, and Sagami Line when the center of the city was attacked. The route was originally heavily dependent on gravel transportation in the Sagami River, and the fact that the mining of gravel was prohibited around 1960 (1960) and the freight transportation was sharply reduced was a big blow. Because of this, although it was one of the JNR lines in the Kanto region that was in the red, there was a history that it was not abolished due to the automobile transportation from Atsugi Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. and the construction of a commuter town along the line. In this book, you can enjoy the nostalgic scenery along the line centering on the pictures of the station buildings and railways of each station along the line before it was electrified in 1991 (1991).
