Namhŭng station is a railway station in Namhŭng, Pakch'ŏn County, North P'yŏngan Province, North Korea. It is the terminus of the Namhŭng Line.^[1]

History

The station was opened by the Korean State Railway in 1976 to serve the Namhŭng Youth Chemical Complex opened that year,^[2] located just east of Namhŭng station, which is extensively served by rail.

Between 2006 and 2010, the station's tracks were electrified, and around 2009 a servicing facility for the diesel locomotives used to shunt the yard and move cars between the station and the chemical plant were built here.^[3]
