Osich'ŏn Station is a railway station in Taeosich'ŏl-lodongjagu, Unhŭng county, Ryanggang province, North Korea, at the end of a branchline from Taeoch'ŏn on the Paektusan Ch'ŏngnyŏn Line of the Korean State Railway.[1]
The station, along with the rest of the Pongdu-ri-Hyesanjin- section, was opened by the Government Railways of Chosen(朝鮮総督府鉄道) on 1 November 1937.[2]
On 9 October 2006 an underground nuclear test was conducted at P'unggye-ri in Kilju County, causing the closure of the line for 3-4 months.[3]
