The Suin Line is a former narrow-gauge railway line in South Korea. The line connected Suwon on the Gyeongbu Line to Incheon on the Gyeongin Line. The line was abandoned in 1995. A new version of the line is currently being built; it will link the Bundang Line to Seongnam via Siheung, Ansan, Suwon and Yongin.

[edit] Rolling stock
For the Suin line, Korean National Railroad built narrow gauge steam locomotive, KNR160 diesel car (also known as Niigata/Kawasaki Diesel Car) and KNR18000 passenger car. One KNR160 (later renamed as KNR9160) and two KNR18000 are preserved at Railroad Museum in Uiwang, Gyeonggi-do.
Korail will soon introduce new EMU for the Suin line.
