The Posan Line is an electrified freight-only railway line of the Korean State Railway in South P'yŏngan Province, North Korea from Kangsŏ at the junction of the P'yŏngnam and Taean Lines, to Posan.[1]
The April 13 Ironworks at Posan produces pig iron, all of which is shipped to the Ch'ŏllima Steel Complex a short distance away at Kangsŏn on the P'yŏngnam Line, whilst using raw materials received from all over the western part of the country.[2]
A yellow background in the "Distance" box indicates that section of the line is not electrified.
