The Osich'ŏn Line was a non-electrified railway line of the Korean State Railway in Unhŭng County, Ryanggang Province, North Korea, running from Taeoch'ŏn on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line to Osich'ŏn.[1]
The branch line to Kim Jong-un's private railway station, called "Hyesan No. 1 Station",[2] diverges from the main line of the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line at almost the same point as the Osich'ŏn Line.
This Osich'ŏn Line was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 November 1937, at the same time as the Pongduri−Hyesanjin section of the Kilhye Line.[3]
A yellow background in the "Distance" box indicates that section of the line is not electrified.
