Kaesong Station is a passenger railway station located in Pyongyang, North Korea. It is on located on the Pyongbu Line, which was formed from part of the Kyongui Line to accommodate the shift of the capital from Seoul to Pyongyang; though this line theoretically connects Pyongyang to Pusan, in reality it ends at Kaesong due to the Demilitarized zone. The first station was built by the Japanese in 1919 as a western-style brick edifice; however, the original station was destroyed in the Korean War. It was then reconstructed in the 1950s. More recently, the station was again rebuilt in 2003, using funds donated by the South Korean government under the Sunshine Policy.
