Korea's domestic network of railroads is operating on the
axes of 1) the Kaesung-Sariwon-Pyongyang-Shinuiju line
along the west coast, the Wonsan-Heungnam-Chongjin-Rajin
line along the east coast, and the Pyongyang-Wonsan line
linking the east and west.
As for its international
network of railroads, North Korea has six lines linking
with China and a line with Russia. However, only four
lines are currently in operation. They are the
Shinuiju-Tandong (China) line, the Namyang-Tumen (Chine)
line, the Manpo-Jian (China), and the Tumen River-Hassan
(Russia) line. The Chongjin-Rajin-Tumen River line has
both a standard-gauge railroad and a wide-gauge one for
cargo transportation to and from Russia.
