Nebukawa Station accident

[1][2] During the Great Kantō earthquake, at two minutes before noon on September 1, 1923, the local train of the Atami-Odawara Line was travelling south towards Manazuru and was stopped at Nebukawa Station.

The train disaster killed 112 people, with an additional 200 people living in the close vicinity of the station also killed by the landslide.

[3][4][5] The wreck of the train and tracks were salvaged in September 1932 for scrap metal.

The Tokyo-bound train on the same line was stopped in the middle of the bridge over the Nebukawa River just before the station, and was overwhelmed by a 35-foot tsunami, which swept the locomotive into the sea, killing six people.
