History

It was opened by the Tomun Railway in 1922, together with the rest of the Sangsambong–Chongsŏng section of their line (Hoeryŏng–Tonggwanjin),[2] which on 1 April 1929 was nationalised and became the West Tomun Line of the Chosen Government Railway, and from 1934 to 1940 it was managed by the South Manchuria Railway.[3] Finally, after the partition of Korea it became part of the Korean State Railway.[1]
