The Ryongam Line is an electrified freight-only railway line of the Korean State Railway in Kujang County, North P'yŏngan Province, North Korea, running from Kujang at the junction of the Ch'ŏngnyŏn P'arwŏn, Manp'o, and P'yŏngdŏk Lines, to Ryongam.[1]
History
Originally named Yongdŭng Line, this line was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 April 1934. Tongryonggul Station, 2.6 km (1.6 mi) from Kujang, was closed on 15 June 1944.[2] Given its current name some time after 1950, the line was electrified by 1980.
