Tsunami washed away 23 JR stations
Quote:
JR East has been checking damage caused by the disaster to seven rail routes in Fukushima, Miyagi, Iwate and Aomori prefectures.
To date, the company has found about 680 places where the tracks were damaged on the seven lines.
Damage to station buildings was most serious on the Kesennuma Line. Facilities at nine stations, including those at Shizukawa and Utatsu, were washed away.
...
In all, the company has finished inspections on only half the tracks on the seven lines.
