Mangu Station (pronounced Mang-woo) is a station on the Jungang Line. This station is probably most famous for being Seoul's main distribution center of charcoal briquettes in the 1950's and 60's, extracted and manufactured in southern Gangwon province. These briquettes were widely used by people to weather harsh winters when Korea was a developing country and recovering from the Korean War. It is a station that still predominantly handles freight trains.
Although it is located close to the Sangbong Bus Terminal, it has yet to fulfill its potential as a transportation hub.
