Lines

The station is served by the Senmō Main Line, and lies 24.3 km from the starting point of the line at Higashi-Kushiro . [3]

Layout

Tōro Station has two opposed side platforms and two tracks. Platform 1 adjacent to the station building side is the outbound main line (towards Kushiro), while Platform 2 on the opposite side is the inbound main line (towards Abashiri). However, signaling allows trains to enter both platforms from the Kushiro side, and Platform 2 also allows trains to depart in the outbound direction, allowing for return service from this station to Kushiro. It formerly had a secondary main track and freight platform. The station building was reconstructed in 1953. In 1998, the exterior was renovated to resemble a log cabin. The station is unattended.
