Osich'ŏn station is a railway station in Taeosich'ŏl-lodongjagu, Unhŭng county, Ryanggang province, North Korea, at the end of the Osich'ŏn Line from Taeoch'ŏn on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]

History[]

The station, along with the rest of the Osich'ŏn Line, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 November 1937.[2]

On 9 October 2006 an underground nuclear test was conducted at P'unggyeri in Kilju County, causing the closure of the line for 3-4 months.[3]
