Ongp'yŏng station is a railway station in Ongp'yŏng-dong, greater Munch'ŏn city, Kangwŏn province, North Korea, on the Kangwŏn Line of the Korean State Railway; it is also the starting point of the Munch'ŏn Port Line to Koam.[1]
History
Originally called Munch'ŏn station (Chosŏn'gŭl: 문천역; Hanja: 文川駅), the station, along with the rest of the Ongp'yŏng–Kowŏn–Kŭmya section of the former Hamgyŏng Line, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 21 July 1916,[2] while the Munch'ŏn Port Line was opened on 17 December 1943 by the Chosen Anthracite Company as a privately owned railway.[3] This line, like all other railway lines in North Korea, was nationalised after the Second World War, becoming part of the Korean State Railway.;[1] the station received its current name after that.
