Cheongnyangni Station is the Seoul terminus for passenger trains serving the eastern part of South Korea. The station is located just east of downtown Seoul, on the Gyeongwon Line.

Passenger trains serving the following Korail lines terminate at Cheongnyangni Station:

• The Yeongdong Line and Taebaek Line to Gangneung, also in Gangwon Province; and
• The Jungang Line to Andong in North Gyeongsang Province and Busan, to the southeast of Seoul.

Note: Due to the finish of double-tracking rapid transit construction and its re-open, the operation of Gyeongchun Line to Chuncheon has been changed from this station to Sangbong Station, since December 21, 2010.

In addition, the station was the original eastern terminus of Seoul Subway Line 1 when that line opened in 1974. Today, subway trains operate from Cheongnyangni east to Guksu and west to Yongsan via Yongsan-Guksu line.
