Summary
| Description |
English: The last train to cross the border, a military transport delivering supplies to UN forces following MacArthur's inland push in 1950, became stuck at Hanpo Station in Hwanghe-do in what is now North Korea on December 31, 1950 due to Chinese troops ahead. Unable to turn around, the conductor attempted to back the train back down to Munsan but was stopped by US troops who decided that rather than risk the train falling into North Korean hands, were ordered to destroy the train.
The rusted out locomotive was moved from its resting place to Imjingak in 2004, and has been registered as a Cultural Heritage site as a visual reminder of the length of time the border has been closed in the hope trains will once again cross freely. |
