Cheonan is a major rail hub in central South Korea, positioned on the Gyeongbu corridor between the Seoul area and the southeast. The city area uses two main passenger stations: Cheonan-Asan Station for high-speed KTX and SRT services, and Cheonan Station for conventional Korail intercity and regional trains. High-speed trains from Cheonan-Asan connect the city with the national KTX and SRT network, while Cheonan Station handles ITX-Saemaeul, Mugunghwa, and other Korail services on the conventional Gyeongbu Line and Janghang Line. The two stations serve different rail systems, so travelers should check the departure station before buying train tickets. Rail routes from Cheonan run north toward Seoul, Suseo, and the capital region, south toward Daejeon, Daegu, Ulsan, and Busan, and west along the Janghang Line toward Asan, Yesan, Hongseong, and Iksan. High-speed services also link Cheonan-Asan with Honam and Jeolla destinations such as Gwangju-Songjeong and Mokpo. Book trains from and to Cheonan online at Rail Monsters.
