Kangalli station is a railway station in Kangal-li, Onsŏng County, North Hamgyŏng, North Korea, on the Hambuk Line of the Korean State Railway.[1] It is also the starting point of the Sŏngp'yŏng branch to Sŏngp'yŏng.

History

Originally called Tonggwanjin station, it was opened by the Tomun Railway Company on 1 December 1922, together with the rest of the Sangsambong–Chongsŏng section of their line, thereby completing the entirety of the Tomun Railway's line from Hoeryŏng to Tonggwanjin. On 1 April 1929 was nationalised and became the West Tomun Line of the Chosen Government Railway.[2]

On 1 August 1933 the Chosen Government Railway completed their East Tomun Line from Unggi to Tonggwanjin, by closing the final gap between Namyang and here; at the same time, the station was renamed Tonggwan station.[3]

The station received its current name after the establishment of the DPRK.
