History
editThe company began operations in 1912, and by 1931 it had opened a network of nearly 250 km (160 mi) in the area aroundCheonan.Following thepartition of Korea,the entirety of the Chōsen Gyeongnam Railway's network was located in theAmerican zone of occupation.All railways inSouth Korea,including the Chōsen Gyeongnam Railway, were nationalised in 1946, becoming part of theKorean National Railroad.
The Chōsen Gyeongnam Railway opened the following railway lines between 1912 and 1931:[1]
- 1912:Gunsan Line,23.1 km (14.4 mi) fromIrion theChōsen Government Railway'sHonam LinetoGunsan;
- 1919–1927:Gyeonggi Line,69.8 km (43.4 mi) fromCheonanon the Chōsen Government Railway'sGyeongbu LinetoJanghowon;
- 1922–1931:Chungnam Line,144.2 km (89.6 mi) from Cheonan to Janghang Jangyo;
- 1931:Gunsanhang Line,0.9 km (0.56 mi) from Gunsan toGunsan Port(became Gunsanbudu (Gunsan Wharf) Station) in 1943.
After the nationalisation, the Korean National Railroad took over these lines, eventually rearranging them. The Gunsan–Gunsan Wharf section of the Gunsan Line was detached to create theGunsan Freight Line,whilst the Iri–Gunsan section of the Gunsan Line and the entirety of the Ch'ungnam Line from Gunsan to Cheonan were merged to create theJanghang Linein 1955. The Gyeonggi Line was renamedAnseong Linein the same year.[2]
Services
editIn the November 1942 timetable, the last issued prior to the start of thePacific War,the Chōsen Gyeongnam Railway was running extensive passenger services on the Chungnam Line, along with three daily round trips on the Gyeonggi Line.[3]
