Sŏngp'yŏng station is a railway station in Kangal-li, Onsŏng County, North Hamgyŏng, North Korea; it is the endpoint of the Sŏngp'yŏng Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]

History[edit]

The station was opened by the Tomun Railway Company on 1 December 1922, together with the rest of the Sŏngp'yŏng Line as well as the SangsambongChongsŏng section of their mainline from Hoeryŏng to Tonggwanjin.
