Poch'ŏn Ch'ŏngnyŏn station (former Karim station) is a railway station in Kasal-li, Poch'ŏn county, Ryanggang province, North Korea, on the Samjiyŏn of the Korean State Railway. It is also the starting point of the narrow-gauge Poch'ŏn line.[1]

History

The station, along with the rest of the Samjiyŏn Line, was opened by the Korean State Railway in 1948.[2] Extensive flooding in 1994 led to the closure of the line, and the station has since been out of use.[3]
