The Tongp'o Line was a non-electrified 15.6 km (9.7 mi) long railway line of the Korean State Railway in North Korea, connecting Chongsŏng on the Hambuk Line with Tongp'o.[1]

It was originally opened by the Tomun Railway together with the SangsambongChongsŏng section of the West Tomun Line on 1 November 1924.[2] It was subsequently nationalised by the Chosen Government Railway in 1929, and from 1934 to 1945 it was managed by the South Manchuria Railway.[3] Finally, after the partition of Korea it became part of the Korean State Railway.[1] The date of closure is not known.
