Taebaeksansong station

Railway station in North Korea

Taebaeksansŏng station is a railway station in Sansŏng-ri, P‘yŏngsan County, North Hwanghae province, North Korea.[1] It is on the P'yŏngbu Line, which was formed from part of the Kyŏngŭi Line to accommodate the shift of the capital from Seoul to P'yŏngyang. Though this line physically connects P'yŏngyang to Pusan via Dorasan, in operational reality it ends at Kaesŏng due to the Korean Demilitarized Zone.[1]
