Wiyon Chongnyon station
Wiyŏn Ch'ŏngnyŏn station is a railway station in Wiyŏn-dong, greater Hyesan city, Ryanggang province, North Korea, on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line of the Korean State Railway. It is also the starting point of the narrow-gauge Samjiyŏn line.
The station, along with the rest of the Pongdu-ri–Hyesanjin section, was opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 November 1937.
On 9 October 2006 an underground nuclear test was conducted at P'unggye-ri in Kilju County, causing the closure of the line for 3–4 months.
There is a large sawmill here that processes logs shipped by rail from the Paengmu narrow-gauge line via Paegam, and processed lumber is shipped from here to other destinations. Passenger trains run along the Samjiyŏn line to meet with trains running between Hyesan and Kilju.
