Ryongch'ŏn station is a railway station in Ryongch'ŏn-ŭp, Ryongch'ŏn County, North P'yŏngan Province, North Korea. It is the junction point of the P'yŏngŭi and Tasado lines of the Korean State Railway.[1]

History

The station, originally called Yangsi station, was opened on 31 October 1939 by the Tasado Railway, along with the rest of the Tasado Line from Sinŭiju to Tasado Port.[2] The Sinŭiju–Yangsi section of the line was transferred to the Chosen Government Railway as the Yangsi Line on 1 April 1943,[3] and the station received its current name in July 1945.

The Ryongch'ŏn disaster was a major accident that occurred at Ryongch'ŏn station on 22 April 2004, when a train carrying flammable cargo exploded.

Services

There are five daily return commuter trains between Ryongch'ŏn and Tasado stations.[4]
