Sokhyon station is a railway station located in Sinmak-ri, Sŏhŭng Country, North Hwanghae province, North Korea.[1] It is on located on the P'yŏngbu Line, which was formed from part of the Kyŏngŭi Line to accommodate the shift of the capital from Seoul to P'yŏngyang; though this line physically connects P'yŏngyang to Pusan via Dorasan, in operational reality it ends at Kaesŏng due to the Korean Demilitarized Zone.[1] One kilometre north of the station is Sinmak Airfield, which served during the Korean War.
