Mint'ang station is a railway station in Sinsang-ri, Kimjŏngsuk-kun, Ryanggang Province, North Korea, on the Pukbunaeryuk Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]

History

[edit]

The station was opened on 27 November 1987 by the Korean State Railway, along with the rest of the first eastern section of the Pukbunaeryuk Line between Huju and Hyesan.[2] The station name comes from the name of a village, Mintang-ri, which existed from the Chosŏn Dynasty period until 1952, when it was merged into Sinsang-ri.[3]
