《Restock ⑦》 1973 SL Steam Locomotive C55 Soyabon Line The dynamic feeling of Shiosari Pass from the train window Shiosari Pass is a pass located on the border between Pippu Town, Kamikawa District, Hokkaido (former Ishikari Province) and Wassamu Town, Kamikawa District (former Teshio Province). It is the watershed between the Teshio River system and the Ishikari River system. The altitude is 263 meters. It was excavated as a transportation route connecting the Nayoro Basin and the Kamikawa Basin, and was named after "shio" (salt) from Teshio Province and "kari" (hunting) from Ishikari Province, which were the old provincial names in Hokkaido. The Hokkaido Government-Owned Railway Teshio Line (Raruru - Wassamu section), the predecessor of the Soya Main Line, opened in 1899 (Meiji 32), the year after the road opened, running parallel to the prefectural road. Ten years later, on February 28, 1909 (Meiji 42), a train separated, and a railway worker, Masao Nagano, died in the line of duty (see also Shiosari Station #Masao Nagano's death). This accident became the subject of Ayako Miura's novel "Shiosari Pass". On September 5, 1916 (Taisho 5), Shiosari Signal Station was established near the summit of the pass [5], and later passengers were able to get on and off at Shiosari Station.
