History

Ŏryong Station on the Manp'o Line was opened on 1 May 1941,[2] when the construction of a new line to the coal mines at Ryongmun began; the line, named the Ryongmun Colliery Line, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 September 1941.[3]

Electrification of the line was completed by 1980.[4]

gollark: Which isn't a theoretical issue, this sort of thing was (probably still is) literally deployed in shops and stuff.
gollark: I disagree. It prevents you being persistently tracked via WiFi (or, well, makes it harder, there are a number of attacks).

gollark: A slight issue with it is that because of some kernel changes which haven't been made because ???, it has to power on/off the wireless card when you change MAC, which takes *multiple* hundreds of milliseconds.
gollark: I also have iwd configured to deterministically use different MAC addresses per network, and I think iOS/Android do similar stuff.
