Kaesong Railway Station

Pyongyang, March 12 (KCNA) -- Kaesong Railway Station is 200 kilometers south of Pyongyang Railway Station in the capital of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
It was until just after the liberation of the country in Juche 34 (1945) that Korean people traveled between Pyongyang and Seoul by the Seoul-Sinuiju train.
After Korea was divided by the U.S. occupation of South Korea and the Military Demarcation Line was drawn in Korea, the railways were also severed.
Since then, Kaesong Railway Station has been called a "terminus".
The rails have gotten rusty within wire entanglements of the Military Demarcation Line and trees which stroke root on the roadbed are now measuring an arm's span round.
With the era of the country's reunification looming ever closer, the time has come for the Korean nation to put a period to the "terminus", a symbol of national division.
The June 15 North-South Joint Declaration was made public at a time when the nation's desire for reunification was growing ever stronger, and undertakings have been launched to relink railways and roads after more than half a century.
The projects of reconnecting the west coastal railways and roads took place with due ceremony in Kaesong Railway Station on September 18 last year. The railway project is going on in real earnest.
The day is not far off when a train will go down to the south through Kaesong Railway Station.
