Namp'o station is a railway station in Hanggu-guyŏk, Namp'o Special City, North Korea on the P'yŏngnam Line of the Korean State Railway, as well as the starting point of the Tojiri Line.[1] There is an engine house northwest of the station in Munhwa-dong, Hanggu-guyŏk.
Originally called Chinnamp'o station, it was opened by the Chosen Government Railway, along with the rest of the mainline of the P'yŏngnam Line, on 16 October 1910.[2]
In July 1938, the Chosen P'yŏngan Railway (Japanese: 朝鮮平安鉄道, Chōsen Heian Tetsudō; Korean: 조선평안철도, Chosŏn P'yŏngan Ch'ŏldo) opened a 34.7km (21.6miles)-long line from Namp'o to P'yŏngnam Onch'ŏn to serve the hot springs there.[3]
In December 2022, a new station building was completed.[4]
This is a very busy station, serving North Korea's busiest port in terms of international import-export shipping,[5] as well as the Namp'o base of the Korean People's Navy and a coal loading dock.[6]
A number of passenger trains also serve the station. These are:
Due to the poor state of the tracks, at present the travel time for trains between P'yŏngyang and Namp'o is around three hours.[1]
