The branch line to Kim Jong-un's private railway station, called "Hyesan No. 1 Station",[2] diverges from the main line of the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line at almost the same point as the Osich'ŏn Line.

History

This Osich'ŏn Line was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 November 1937, at the same time as the Pongduri−Hyesanjin section of the Kilhye Line.[3]
