Tumangang

The railway facility manages transportation between North Korea and Russia through the Korea Russia Friendship Bridge across the Tumen River.

The railway infrastructure was established during World War II to facilitate Soviet troop and equipment movements into Korea against Japanese forces.

The international crossing point represents a meeting place between Korean and Russian railway systems, requiring specific technical adaptations for different track gauges.

The station operates freight services with increased activity in 2023, handling over 70 railcars simultaneously at the border transfer facility.

This location marks the northeastern edge of North Korea at the exact point where the borders of three countries - North Korea, Russia, and China - intersect.
