As a regular railway station it is an interim stop between Dorasan Station in the Demilitarised Zone and Seoul Station.[3] the tourist train between Seoul to the DMZ Border stops in operation, due to concerns about the spread of the outbreak of African swine fever.[4]
The Gyeongui–Jungang Line (Munsan–Imjingang) extension opened on March 28, 2020.[5]
