The Jungang Line is a railway line connecting Seoul to Gyeongju in South Korea. Major stations along the line include:
*Cheongnyangni on the Gyeongwon Line in eastern Seoul, the starting point for passenger trains on the Jungang line;
*Wonju
*Bongyang, the terminus of the Chungbuk Line;
*Jecheon, the terminus of the Taebaek Line;
*Yeongju, the terminus of the Yeongdong and Gyeongbuk Lines;
*Andong, where most passenger trains from Seoul terminate;
*Yeongcheon, the terminus of the Daegu Line; and
*Gyeongju on the Donghae Nambu Line (from Gyeongju, some trains continue south on the Donghae Nambu Line to Busan).

In 2005, part of the Jungang Line (from Cheongnyangni to Deokso) was opened for commuter train service, and trains now operate from Yongsan to Deokso. Commuter train service is planned to be extended to Yongmun Station, and will be opened incrementally from 2007 to 2009.
