Sinhakp'o station is a railway station in Hakp'o-ri, Hoeryŏng county, North Hamgyŏng province, North Korea. It is the starting point of the Sechŏn branch Hambuk Line of the Korean State Railway to Chungbong station.[1]
The station was opened in 1920 by the privately owned Tomun Railway, at the same time as the rest of the first stage of its mainline, from Hoeryŏng to Sangsambong.[2] It was subsequently nationalised by the Chosen Government Railway in 1929, and from 1934 to 1940 it was managed by the South Manchuria Railway.[3] Finally, after the partition of Korea it became part of the Korean State Railway.[1]
