Station Layout Diagrams

RMM published some station layouts when it first created its blog several years ago.

This is JR Naoetsu Station.  It is located at junction of Shinetsu Main Line and Hokuriku Main Line.

There are three passenger platforms with six tracks (1-6), four freight tracks (7-10)which by-pass the passenger tracks and the plan shows a roundhouse and connecting tracks, although the article does not seem to mention this  feature.

There are more diagrams that I will post later.

This is part 2 of Naoetsu Station.  This diagram shows a larger area including all of part 1 and where the two main lines come together and separate.

The second station is Hokuriku Main Line, Uozu Station which includes separate stations for the JT Hokuriku Main Line and the Toyama District Railway's Shin Uozu station.  There is also a small yard on the JR line between the Uozu station and Shin Uozu station.

The private railway tracks are deep blue lines that run across the top of the diagram.

The third station is Tanihama Station, also on the Hokuriku Main Line.  It is a simpler station with a small wooden station building and two platforms, one side, one island.  It is a double track main that widens to three tracks at the station. But looking at the pictures not all these tracks are use.  Some very rusty rail there!

The fourth station is Okabe Station on the JR Takasaki Line.  Its a two island platform station with a small wooden head house and an overhead bridge.  There are several short spurs around the station.  The photos with the article indicate there is a JR rail maintenance facility adjacent to the station.

That's it guys.  Hope these give you some ideas. 

Thanks, Bill--this is really interesting! I've been getting interested in the Hokuriku main line (and region), so this is cool.

Thanks for the links!

I have some complete track layouts of private companies laying around back in Germany on my computer. Please remind me in a week or two and a half, so I won't forget to upload 'em here ;)

Thanks for the feedback guys.

I found a fifth station.  This is JR Chou Main Line Hatsukari Station which used to be a switchback location. The photos show that this is E257 territory.
