The Dasado Railway (Japanese: 多獅島鐵道株式會社, Tashitō Tetsudō Kabushiki Kaisha; Korean: 다사도철도주식회사, Dasado Cheoldo Jusikhoesa), was a privately owned railway company in Japanese-occupied Korea.

The Dasado Railway opened a 39.5 km (24.5 mi) line from Sinuiju to Dasado Port via Yangsi, called the Dasado Line, on 31 October 1939,[1] to provide the Chōsen Paper Mills Ltd.[2] (a subsidiary of the Oji Paper Company; today the Sinuiju Chemical Fibre Complex) of Sinuiju a means of shipping its products out via the port at Dasado, as the Yalu River freezes in winter.

Then, on 29 October 1940 the Dasado Railway opened a line from Yangsi to Namsi, calling it the Namsi Line.

[4] Yangsi and Namsi stations were given their current names, Ryongcheon and Yeomju respectively, after the establishment of the DPRK.

[5][page needed] In the November 1942 timetable, the last issued prior to the start of the Pacific War, the Dasado Railway was running five daily third-class-only round-trip passenger trains on the Dasado Line, and four daily on the Namsi Line.
