The Rangrang Line is a non-electrified freight-only railway line of the Korean State Railway in Ryŏkp'o-guyŏk and Rangrang-guyŏk, P'yŏngyang, North Korea, running from Ryŏkp'o on the P'yŏngbu Line to Rangrang,[1]

History[edit]

The Rangrang Line was opened in 1989 to assist with the construction of the East P'yŏngyang Thermal Power Plant that began that year;[2] since then, the line is used to supply the power plant with coal.
