The line was originally opened by the Chosen Government Railway on 1 November 1927 as part of the first section of the former P'yŏngwŏn Line from Sŏp'o to Sainjang (nowadays called P'yŏngsŏng Station).[2] After the establishment of the DPRK, the Korean State Railway created the P'yŏngra Line by merging the P'yŏngwŏn Line with parts of the Hamgyŏng and Ch'ŏngra lines, at which time the Sŏp'o—Tongbungri section of the former P'yŏngwŏn Line was separated to create the current Ryongsŏng Line.
