History

The station, along with the rest of the former Kyŏngwŏn Line, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway (Sentetsu) on 16 August 1914.[3] The first section of the former Tonghae Pukpu Line, from Anbyŏn to Hŭpkok (nowadays called Myŏnggo), was opened by Sentetsu on 1 September 1929. After the partition of Korea following the Pacific War, the section of the Tonghae Pukpu line from Anbyŏn to Kamho fell within North Korea, and was renamed Kŭmgangsan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line.[1]

gollark: I guess they might get serialized to ints, but at the very least the ordering is weird.

gollark: But pattern matching, you see.
