Korean name

Hanja: 嶺東線
Revised Romanization: Yeongdongseon
McCune-Reischauer: Yǒngdongsǒn

The Yeongdong Line is a line on the Korean National Railroad. It connects Yeongju in Gyeongsangbuk-do with Gangneung in Gangwon-do. From Yeongju, it crosses the Taebaek Mountains and reaches the Sea of Japan (East Sea) at Donghae, thence proceeding north to Gangneung. Most of the line first opened in July 1955, with the Donghae-Gangneung portion completed in 1962.

At Yeongju, the line connects with the Gyeongbuk and Jungang Lines. Some trains travel directly from one to the other, so that it is possible to travel directly from Seoul or Busan to Gangneung by rail.
