Kŭmgol station is a railway station in Kŭmgol 1-dong, greater Tanch'ŏn city, South Hamgyŏng province, North Korea, on the Kŭmgol Line of the Korean State Railway.[1] It was opened in 1961.[2]
A trolleybus line formerly ran from next to the railway station to Kumgol 3-dong serving the Komdok mining area, though no trolleybuses have run since 2011 and the loop line next to the station has been dismantled around or before 2015.[3]
