The Tŏkhyŏn Line is a non-electrified standard-gauge secondary line of the Korean State Railway in North P'yŏngan Province, North Korea, running from South Sinŭiju on the P'yŏngŭi Line to Tŏkhyŏn.[1]
The ruling grade on the line is 12‰ and the minimum curve radius is 300m (1,000feet). There are 13 bridges with a total length of 373m (1,224feet), and there are no tunnels.[2]
The Tŏkhyŏn Line was opened by the Korean State Railway in April 1971.[2]
The primary function of the Tŏkhyŏn Line is to deliver iron ore from the mines around Tŏkhyŏn to the September Iron & Steel Complex (9월제철종합기업소) in Sinŭiju and the Hwanghae Iron & Steel Complex on the Songrim Line, thus the bulk of southbound freight is ore from the mines.[2]
Three pairs of commuter trains run on the line between Sinŭiju Ch'ŏngnyŏn and Tŏkhyŏn stations.[2]
A yellow background in the "Distance" box indicates that section of the line is not electrified.
