==Lines==
{{nihongo|'''Mikage Station'''|御影駅|Mikage-eki}} is an elevated [[railway station]] on the [[Hanshin Electric Railway]] [[Hanshin Main Line|Main Line]], with trains traveling east to Hanshin's terminal in [[Umeda]] (Osaka), and west to central Kobe (Motomachi and [[Sannomiya]]). At Motomachi, number of limited express trains carry on along the Sanyo Railway to [[Himeji]] city.
Mikage Station is served by the [[Hanshin Main Line]], and is located {{Convert|25.7|km|mi|abbr=off}} from the [[terminal station|terminus]] of the line at {{STN|Umeda}}.


==Layout==
==Layout==
The station consists of two elevated [[island platform]]s serving four tracks. Part of the platform crosses the Ishiya River. Since the platforms are on a sharp curve (radius {{Convert|140|m|ft|abbr=on}} to {{Convert|160|m|ft|abbr=on}}), the speed through the premises is limited to {{Convert|35|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}. The gap between the stopped train and the platform is partially wide, and the width of the platform itself is narrow, making it a particularly dangerous station among Hanshin stations. Due to the narrow width of the platform, there is no waiting room. There is only one ticket gate on the ground level.
The station has four tracks with two island platforms elevated with an elevator each.

Mikage Station (御影駅, Mikage-eki, station number: HS-25) is a passenger railway station located in Higashinada-ku, Kobe, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the private transportation company Hanshin Electric Railway.[1]

Lines

[edit]

Mikage Station is served by the Hanshin Main Line, and is located 25.7 kilometres (16.0 miles) from the terminus of the line at Umeda.

Layout

[edit]

The station consists of two elevated island platforms serving four tracks. Part of the platform crosses the Ishiya River. Since the platforms are on a sharp curve (radius 140 m (460 ft) to 160 m (520 ft)), the speed through the premises is limited to 35 km/h (22 mph). The gap between the stopped train and the platform is partially wide, and the width of the platform itself is narrow, making it a particularly dangerous station among Hanshin stations. Due to the narrow width of the platform, there is no waiting room. There is only one ticket gate on the ground level.
