The Station That No Longer Is...

The man standing with his umbrella was one of our tour guides. Woljeongri Station was used to make frequent stops through North and South Korea. Our tour guide gives a fitting, but sad image - waiting for a train that will never arrive.  Maybe someday Korea will reunite and the civilians in the North will be free from their suffering.

The remains of the train that was destroyed because of the Korean War.

 

The only train cargo car that was left intact from the war. 

 The front of the train also remained intact from war destruction.
