The P'yÅngdÅk Line is an electrified standard-gauge trunk line of the North Korean State Railway running from P'yÅngyang to Kujang on the Manp'o and Ch'ÅngnyÅn P'alwÅn lines.^[1]

On 21 October 2014 a groundbreaking ceremony for the SÅngri ("Victory") project to modernise the P'yÅngnam Line from Namp'o to P'yÅngyang and the P'yÅngdÅk Line from P'yÅngyang to Chedong was held. The project, supported by Russia, is intended to form the first stage of a larger-scale cooperation with the Russian Railways as part of a 20-year development project that would modernise around 3,500 km of the North Korean rail network, and would include the construction of a north-south freight bypass around P'yÅngyang. The overall project cost is estimated to be around US $25 billion, and it is expected that exports of coal, rare earth and non-ferrous metals from the DPRK to Russia will provide the funding for the project.^[2]
