Hyesan Ch'ŏngnyŏn station is the central railway station of Hyesan city, located in the Ch'un-dong neighbourhood of greater Hyesan city, Ryanggang province, North Korea. A large station with seven tracks, it is the junction point of the Korean State Railway's Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn and Pukbunaeryuk lines.[1]
Originally called Hyesan station (Chosŏn'gŭl: 혜산역; Hanja: 恵山駅), the station, along with the rest of the Pongdu-ri-Hyesanjin section of the Kilhye Line, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 November 1937.[2] It received its current name sometime after the 1970s.
In 1997 there was an accident at the station involving the collision of two trains.
