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:
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“In public buildings set aside for the care and maintenance of the goods of the middle ages, a staff of civil service art attendants praise all the dead, irrelevant scribblings and scrawlings that, at best, have only historical interest for idiots and layabouts.”
—George Grosz (1893–1959)
“We too are ashes as we watch and hear
The psalm, the sorrow, and the simple praise
Of one whose promised thoughts of other days
Were such as ours, but now wholly destroyed,
The service record of his youth wiped out,
His dream dispersed by shot, must disappear.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
