Pot'onggang station is a railway station in Pulg'ŭn'gori 1-dong, Pot'onggang-guyŏk, P'yŏngyang, North Korea, on the P'yŏngnam Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]
It is also the starting point of the P'yŏngyanghwajŏn Line to P'yŏngyang's marshalling yard, P'yŏngyang Choch'ajang; from there the line splits, with a branch going to the P'yŏngyang Thermal Power Plant, and another to P'yŏngch'ŏn station and a number of industries in the area.[2] There are sidings for loading freight from a number of freight houses on the south side of the station.
The station was opened together with the marshalling yard on 21 March 1944 by the Chosen Government Railway.[3]
Local transit transfers can be made from Pot'onggang station to the Pyongyang Metro's Kŏn'guk station on the Hyŏksin Line, and to P'yŏngyang Tram Line 1.
