Railway station in Vietnam


Tân Ấp station is a railway station on the North–South railway (Reunification Express) line in Vietnam.

Quick Facts General information, Location ...

It is uncertain when this stretch of railway was closed, but part, if not all of the railway was reopened by North Vietnam in the 1960s as part of their efforts to aid Vietcong guerillas travelling southwards along the Hồ Chí Minh trail, which begins just south of Xóm Cục in the Mụ Giạ Pass.
