Service
Although the Kesennuma Line's south end is Maeyachi, its operational south end should be considered Kogota Station in Misato, as the majority of Kesennuma Line trains either have Kogota as their south terminus or go through it on the way to Sendai. Trains going this far also stop at Kami-Wakuya (local only) and Wakuya Stations in Wakuya, Miyagi on the Ishinomaki Line.
As of April 2005, there were 22 trips daily using this line (10 south-bound, 12 north-bound). In all cases, the north terminus was Kesennuma, but the south end varied depending on the trip. The south terminus could be Kogota (6 south-bound, 8 north-bound), Sendai (2 south-bound, 2 north-bound, a limited express run called the Minami-Sanriku that does not stop at all stations and runs on the Tohoku Main Line tracks from Kogota to Sendai without stopping), Motoyoshi (1 south-bound, 2 north-bound), or Onagawa (1 south-bound, switching to the Ishinomaki Line tracks at Maeyachi).

Famous quotes containing the word service:
“You had to face your ends when young
‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
But never made a poorer song
That you might have a heavier purse,
Nor gave loud service to a cause
That you might have a troop of friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self- service populace, and all our specious comforts—the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria—are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.”
—Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
“It’s 10 p.m. Do you know where your children are?”
—Public Service Announcement.
