The Taean Line is an electrified standard-gauge freight-only secondary line of the North Korean State Railway running from Kangsŏ on the P'yŏngnam Line to Taean.^[1] The line was originally built by the Chosen Government Railway.

All freight heading to and from the Taean Machine Complex located in Taean moves via this line. Steel arrives there from the Kimch'aek Iron & Steel Complex, the Hwanghae Iron & Steel Complex and the Ch'ŏllima Steel Complex, nonferrous metals from the Munp'yŏng Smelter, and imported materials and parts unloaded from ships at Namp'o Port.^[2] Also served by rail here are the Taean Electric Factory, and the Taean Friendship Glass Factory.^[3]
