Chagang Samgang station is a railway station in Samgang-ri, Manp'o municipal city, Chagang Province, North Korea, on the Pukbunaeryuk Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]
The station was opened in 1959 by the Korean State Railway, along with the rest of the original Unbong Line from Hyesan to Manp'o; much of this line was absorbed into the Pukpu Line in 1988.[2]
When the Unbong Line, having been built to assist with the construction of the Unbong Dam on the Yalu River, was built, a branch from Chagang Samgang to the Chinese side of the construction site was built; the branch was subsequently closed, but the bridge across the Yalu is still there, and the right-of-way on the Chinese side is in use as an unpaved trail.
