The Ryonggang Line is a non-electrified standard-gauge secondary line of the North Korean State Railway running from Ryonggang on the P'yŏngnam Line to Mayŏng.

A local train, 734, operates on the entirety of this line from Mayŏng and Ryonggang, continuing on to Kangsŏ; the return trip is train number 733

Most freight on the line is outbound from a mine at Mayŏng and a granite quarry on the Yangmak Branch.

A yellow background in the "Distance" box indicates that section of the line is not electrified.

This is a non-electrified, freight-only branch running along the west side of the Ryongho Reservoir to serve a number of industries. The industrial trackage continues for a ways beyond Yangmak Station to the Yangmak granite quarry.
