A train has run to Dorasan Station for the first time in more than 50 years. Dorasan Station 57 kilometers north of Seoul is the northernmost station on the severed cross-border Kyungui railway linking Seoul with Shinuiju on North Korea's northwestern border with China. The train carrying reporters, government officials and citizens arrived at the station Thursday just south of the demilitarized zone that separates the two Koreas. The Defense Ministry plans to open the station to tourists starting on May first. Tourists will have to go through security checks at a chekpoint at Imjingak Station ... the second last stop in the southern section of the railway. Visitors will also be taken on a tour of an observation tower near the station and an underground infiltration tunnel dug by North Korea. The railway has remained severed since shortly before the Korean War, which ended in 19-53. At a landmark summit in two-thousand, the leaders of South and North Korea agreed to re-link the railway. South Korea completed the restoration of the southern section, but North Korea has yet to finish the work.
