Paegam Chongnyon station

Paegam Ch'ŏngnyŏn station is a railway station in Paegam-ŭp, Paegam county, Ryanggang province, North Korea, on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line of the Korean State Railway. The narrow-gauge Paengmu Line connects to the standard-gauge network here.

History
Originally called Paegam station (Chosŏn'gŭl: 백암역; Hanja: 白岩駅), the station, along with the rest of the Hapsu–Paegam section, was opened by the Government Railways of Chosen (朝鮮総督府鉄道) on 1 August 1934. It received its current name in 1960.

On 9 October 2006 an underground nuclear test was conducted at P'unggye-ri in Kilju County, causing the closure of the line for 3–4 months.

Services
