Northern most South Korean train station leading to North Ko

I went to South Korea and took these pictures and vidoes from across DMZ/border from South Korea. This is a very sensitive area, also called, the most dangerous place on earth. It was calm and quiet and a tourist attraction.It is prohibited to take pictures in some areas. These picture(s) were taken within the legal bounderies and taken in areas where photography was permissibe!

The Koreans want to unite. They beleive that Korea was divided in Yalta. The DMZ means nothing to North and South Koreans.

North Korea is not as bad as shown on our TV news.

There would be no refugees/defectors, they would be captured and/or shot trying to cross the (still) heavily armed and patrolled DMZ.

And, this station looks just like every other train station in South Korea, down to the ticket window and the lettering on the signs. And it looks nothing at all like the ones north of the DMZ.

The Train station is in South Korea. There is a lot of construction activity in the DMZ where almost all South Korean companies and many Chinese companies are building factories there. Pretty soon the North Korean economy will be tied to the rest of the world.

What a short video ! Where's the train ?

[moinansari]

There are no trains. But soon this could bea bustling station all hooked up to China and the Orient Express all the way to Europe.

what is the purpose of having a track to Pyongyang? There are no cross border trains anyway

[FooFooTheClown]

They actually build entire potemkin villages to convince outsiders it's not that bad. I don't hate North Korea, I find it fascinating.

[BobbytheCanadiankid]

Hey Saipanrick , are you sure that refugees or defectors can't escape from North Korea even they can run along the train track ? lolololol !

[BobbytheCanadiankid]

Thanks , Moinansari ! I know they didn't use the train before , but are they using it again ? We are talking about the present times ! Are they bending the rule or not ?

[BobbytheCanadiankid]

Hey Moinansari , are you sure North Korea is not bad as shown on tv ? How about the starving North Korean people ? Hmmmmmm ?
