Originally called Ch'ŏngjinbudu Line or Ch'ŏngjin Wharf Line, it was originally opened on 1 July 1940 by the Chosen Government Railway, running 2.0 km (1.2 mi) from the former site of Ch'ŏngjin Station to Ch'ŏngjinbudu Station.^[2] The length of the line to the port was increased to 2.8 km (1.7 mi) on 1 February 1942, when the original station at Ch'ŏngjin was closed and a new station, today's Ch'ŏngjin Ch'ŏngnyŏn Station, was opened.^[3]
