History
At the time of its opening, it was a signal station, and because it is located north of the 38th parallel, it belonged to the North Korea before the Korean War. After the Military Demarcation Line was created, it was transferred to South Korea and became the terminus of the Gyeongwon Line. It was promoted to an ordinary station in 1954. Usually, there are many hikers for the nearby Godaesan Mountain, and buses to Dongducheon City and Cheorwon County run in front of the station. From July 2, 2018 to December 1, 2018, a temporary shuttle bus was operated between Yeoncheon and Baengmagoji due to track improvement work.
Operations were completely suspended on July 27, 2011 due to track loss caused by heavy rains in the central region, but resumed on March 21, 2012 with the resumption of Gyeongwon Line commuter train service.
From July 2 to December 1, 2018, due to improvement work on the Gyeongwon Line between Yeoncheon and Baengmagoji stations, station operations were again temporarily suspended, and a temporary shuttle bus was operated.
From April 1, 2019 to December 14, 2023, commuter train service was suspended due to the doubling and electrification work of the Gyeongwon Line between Dongducheon Station and Yeoncheon Station, and replacement buses were operated. However, after the completion of the aforementioned work, commuter train stocks were all phased out due to the expiration of their service life [2] , and hence the commuter train service did not restart. Replacement buses were also discontinued on December 16, 2023. Therefore, the bus number 39 or G2001 running from Yeoncheon-gun, or bus number 13 [3] running from Cheorwon-gun has to be used to reach this station.
