Chongjin Chongnyon station

Ch'ŏngjin Ch'ŏngnyŏn station (Korean청진청년역) is the central railway station in Ch'ŏngjin-si, North Hamgyŏng Province, North Korea. It is the junction point of the Hambuk Line and the P'yŏngra Line of the Korean State Railway, and is the beginning of the Ch'ŏngjinhang Line to Ch'ŏngjin Port.

Originally called Ch'ŏngjin station, it was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 5 November 1916 together with the rest of the Ch'ŏngjin–Ch'angp'yŏng section of the former Hamgyŏng Line. On 1 February 1942, the original station at Ch'ŏngjin was closed after a new station – today's Ch'ŏngjin Ch'ŏngnyŏn station – was opened. It received its current name when the station was rebuilt after the Korean War.

Adjacent to the station's yard is the Ch'ŏngjin Railway Equipment Factory, which manufactures freight cars and other railway equipment. The Ch'ŏngjin Steel Works is also served by rail.

According to the 2002 passenger timetable, two express and four semi-express trains made scheduled stops at this station in each direction:

In the 1980s, there were several other long-distance passenger trains that stopped at Ch'ŏngjin Ch'ŏngnyon station:
