Sōma Station is served by the Jōban Line, and is located 307.0 km from the official starting point of the line at Nippori Station. However, due to damage to the line caused by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, trains from Sōma Station are able to travel only as far as Haranomachi Station. Full services are not expected to resume until after 2017.
