Pop'yŏng Ch'ŏngnyŏn Station is a railway station in Kimhyŏngjik-ŭp, Kimhyŏngjik-kun, Ryanggang Province, North Korea, on the Pukpu Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]

History

The station, originally called Huch'ang Station,[2] was opened on 3 August 1988 by the Korean State Railway, along with the rest of the second section of the Pukpu Line between Chasŏng and Huju.[3] When the town of Huch'ang was renamed Kimhyŏngjik, the station was also renamed, but called Pop'yŏng Station instead of "Kimhyŏngjik Station". It received its current name around 2012.
