History

Established in 1923 through the merger of six smaller railways,[2] by the mid 1930s the Chosen Railway (Chōtetsu) had become the largest privately owned railway in colonial Korea, and had built an extensive network of 762 mm (30.0 in) narrow gauge rail lines in the Hwanghae region. By the end of 1935, this Hwanghae Line network ran Sariwŏn—Samgang—Sugyo, Samgang—East Haeju—Haeju Port,[3] and Haeju—East Haeju—Tosŏng.[4]

On 10 May 1937, Chōtetsu opened a short (0.7 km (0.43 mi)) line from Tongp'o, located on the Haeju—Ch'wiya section (extended to Ongjin on 19 May[5]) of the Hwanghae Line network, to Chŏngdo to serve the Haeju Port.[6] After Chōtetsu sold the Hwanghae Line network to the Chosen Government Railway (Sentetsu) on 1 April 1944, Sentetsu split the network into several different lines; the Haeju—Ongjin section became the Ongjin Line, and the Tongp'o—Chŏngdo section became the Chŏngdo Line;[7] this line was eventually extended to the port facilities at T'ŏlsŏm.

After the end of the Pacific War and the subsequent partition of Korea, the Chŏngdo Line was located within the territory of the DPRK. After the conversion of the Sariwŏn—Haeju Hwanghae Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line to standard gauge in 1958,[8] the Chŏngdo Line was likewise regauged.[1][4] Electrification of the Chŏngdo Line was completed in April 1982.[8]
