Sasu station is a railway station in Yangji-rodongjagu, Changjin County, South Hamgyŏng province, North Korea, the northern terminus of the Changjin Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]

History

The station was opened on 1 November 1934 by the Sinhŭng Railway as part of the second section of its Changjin Line between Samgŏ and Kujin.[2] Sasu became the terminus of the line after the closure of the Sindae–Kujin and Sasu–Sindae sections on 15 July and 30 August 1935 respectively.[3] [4] The Sinhŭng Railway was bought and absorbed by the Chosen Railway on 22 April 1938.[5]
