Kwangmyŏng station (Korean: 광명역) is a railway station in Kwangmyŏng-ri, Kosan county, Kangwŏn province, North Korea, on the Kangwŏn Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]
Originally called Sŏgwangsa station (Korean: 석왕사역; Hanja: 釋王寺驛), the station, along with the rest of the former Kyŏngwŏn Line, was opened by the Japanese on 16 August 1914.[2] It was given its current name after the establishment of the DPRK.
