Future plans
In 2016, the section of the Nemuro Main Line between Shintoku and Higashi-Shikagoe suffered extensive damage due to heavy rainfall. Since then, a substitute bus service has been in place to serve this section of the Nemuro Main Line. However, in 2024 it was decided that the Nemuro Main Line between Furano and Shintoku would be closed permanently effective 1 April of that year, making Shintoku the western terminus of the eastern section of the Nemuro Main Line.

Why this record matters
“Shintoku Station” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Shintoku, Station and railway provides the most credible route into that argument.
Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 23, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q899093. Authority coordinates are 43.082, 142.832. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1907, 2016 and 2024.
A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
