Both passenger and freight trains use the station. There is a spur to the P'yŏngyang Wheat Flour Factory in Samhŭng-dong, and there are freight houses and loading platforms at the south side of the station.
On 11 February 1934, the Chosen Government Railway opened Choch'on station on the P'yŏngnam line. However, a year later it was dismantled and moved 1.2 km south, becoming today's Ch'ilgol station, opening on 1 October 1935.
