S.Korea begins work to re-link severed inter-Korean railway / YTN
South Korea has begun a project to reconnect a severed inter-Korean railroad.
Government officials said a groundbreaking ceremony to launch the project was held at Baengmagoji Station in Cheorwon, a border town north of Seoul on Wednesday.
Under the project, the southern government will restore the Gyeongwon Line which links Baengmagoji and Woljeongri Station, the railway's northernmost station in the South.
Speaking at the ceremony, President Park Geun-Hye said the project will be the very starting point of moving towards reunifying the divided Korean Peninsula.
The original 223.7-kilometer Gyeongwon Line used to link Seoul's Yongsan Station with the North's eastern city of Wonsan. But it was suspended in 1945 due to the Peninsula's division and damaged during the Korean War.

The most intense battlefield during the Korean War - Cheorwon Korean Workers' Party Headquarters
The building that appears in the video is 'Cheorwon Korean Workers' Party Headquarters'. It's in Cheorwon County, Gangwon Province in Korea.
The Cheorwon area was the place where the most engagements occurred during the Korean War. If you go there, you can make a trip called 'Dark Tourism'.
(The inter-Korean summit will be held April 27, 2018. This video was uploaded in commemoration of the summit D-1. I sincerely hope that many good results will come out.)
