Musan station is a railway station in Musan-ŭp, Musan county, North Hamgyŏng province, North Korea, at the terminus of the Musan Line of the Korean State Railway. The narrow-gauge Paengmu Line from Paegam on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line also terminates here.[1]
There is a marshalling yard located here.[2]
It was opened, along with the rest of the Sinch'am–Musan section of the Musan line, on 15 November 1929. On 1 May 1940, an extension to Musan Kangan station was opened, but this was subsequently closed on 1 April 1944.[2]
Magnetite ore from the Musan Mining Complex destined for the Kim Chaek Steel Complex, the Ch'ŏngjin Steel Works and the Sŏngjin Steel Complex, along with timber transshipped from the Paengmu Line, forms the majority of outbound freight traffic from Musan station.[2]
There are two passenger trains known to operate on this line:[1]
There are also local trains running between here and Ch'ŏngjin at the southern junction of the Hambuk and P'yŏngra lines. Further, there are several daily commuter trains for workers between Musan and Ch'ŏlsong and for students between Musan and Komusan.[2]
