도카이도 화물선(東海道線, 도카이도 가모쓰센)은 가나가와 현의 오다와라 역과 일본 도쿄 중심부의 하마마쓰초 역을 연결하는 철도 노선이다.

요약

도카이도 화물선은 시오다메 화물터미널과 시나가와 역 사이에 1914년 12월 20일 처음 개통되었는데, 일본에서 최초로 건설된 철도 노선인 도쿄-요코하마 철도의 연계를 이용하여 1872년에 개통되었다.

도카이도 화물선은 오다와라 역에서 히가시토쓰카 역까지 요코스카 여객선과 도카이도 여객선의 바로 서쪽과 평행하게 운행되며, 요코하마 하자와 역과 요코하마를 우회하는 긴 터널을 경유하여 서쪽으로 진군한다. 쓰루미 역 근처에서는 우회로가 주 여객 노선과 다시 합류하여 짧은 거리를 운행하며, 화물 전용 다카시마 선(高島線)에서 사쿠라기초 역, 힌카쿠 선, 무사시노 선까지 연결된다. 이어 화물선은 동쪽으로 커브를 돌면서, 하토나와테 역과 하마카와사키 역 사이의 남부 지선과 잠시 선로를 공유한 뒤, 가와사키 역의 북쪽을 지나 하네다 공항 입구에서 도쿄 화물 터미널로 향한다. 현재[when?] 휴면 중인 이곳에서 북쪽으로 난 노선은 인근 창고를 오가는 데 사용하던 도카이도 신칸센의 지선과 나란히 하마마츠초역까지 이어진다.[1] 하마마쓰초 역을 넘어 도카이도 화물선도 시바우라 역(지선상에 위치), 시오다메 화물 터미널(원래 심바시 역의 터), 결국 도쿄 시장 역(쓰키지 어시장에 위치)까지 이어졌다. 1984년 도쿄시장역이 문을 닫았고, 1985년 시바우라 역, 1986년 시오다메 화물터미널이 그 뒤를 이었다.

The latter dormant section was closed in the 1990s to enable construction of the Toei Ōedo Line subway near Hamamatsuchō Station.[citation needed]

Until 1980, the Tōkaidō Freight Line included the Hinkaku Line until it was converted for passenger use as part of the Yokosuka Line[citation needed].

Takashima Line

The freight-only Takashima Line is a branch of the Tōkaidō Freight Line between Tsurumi Station and Sakuragichō Station, giving access for freight trains to and from the Negishi Line. It branches off from Tsurumi Station and ends at Sakuragichō Station in Yokohama, with a branch between Tsurumi and Sakuragichō leading off to Shinkō Station located at Pier 4 of the Port of Kawasaki.

Future developments

Sōtetsu connections

See also: Kanagawa Eastern Line

The following lines are under construction by Sagami Railway (Sōtetsu) and the Japan Railway Construction, Transport and Technology Agency:

  • a 2.7 km new underground line, called the Sōtetsu JR Link Line (相鉄ＪＲ直通線, Sōtetsu JR Chokutsū-sen), connecting Nishiya Station on the Sagami Railway Main Line with the Tōkaidō Freight Line. The line, initially expected to be completed by 2015, now pushed back to 2019, will enable direct passenger services from Sōtetsu lines to the Saikyō Line which runs across central Tokyo via the Yokosuka Line.[2] The line eventually opened on 30 November 2019.

Haneda Airport connection

Since 2000 there have been proposals to use part of the line for passenger access to Haneda Airport, which is located just south of the Tokyo Freight Terminal. JR East announced in 2013, after the award of the 2020 Summer Olympics, that it was considering using the disused part of the freight line as a passenger connection between the Yamanote Line corridor (near Tamachi Station) and Haneda by building a new tunnel between Tokyo Freight Terminal and the airport.[3] In 2014, JR indicated that the line may be connected to the Ueno-Tokyo Line to allow through access to the Tohoku Main Line,[4] and/or to the Rinkai Line for through service to the Saikyo Line and/or Keiyo Line.[5] Although both JR and the Tokyo government have indicated that improved Haneda access is a high priority, JR has indicated that the connection and necessary line upgrades will take around ten years to complete and are unlikely to be completely ready for the 2020 Olympics.[6]
