Baengmagoji station is a railway station on the Gyeongwon Line in South Korea. The station opened on 20 November 2012. This station is named after Baengmagoji, the site where the Battle of White Horse took place in 1952, during the Korean War.
Cheorwon Station is located within the Civilian Control Zone, so when the northern section of Gyeongwon Line was restored, that station was replaced by a newly built station in Daemari, Cheorwon-eup, outside the Civilian Control Zone. Some members of the Cheorwon Literary Society and residents of the nearby Odaemi Village wanted the station to be named Lee Tae-jun Station , as the birthplace of novelist Lee Tae-jun (Korean: 이태준; born Lee Gyu-tae; Hanja: 李奎泰; November 4, 1904 – 1978) was located nearby. [1] However, the current station name was decided on after the Battle of White Horse that took place nearby. Initially, the original trackbed of the Gyeongwon Line was planned to be used as is, but due to opposition from the military unit in charge, it was changed to the current new route that goes over via a tunnel and an elevated section.
This single-story station features a single-track platform, with no sidings or turnaround facilities. A railway termination sculpture stands at the northern end of the platform, and the main line terminates slightly north of the platform. The station also features a Cheorwon County agricultural specialty store and a snack bar, operated by the Daemari Women's Association.
