The first train in a decade to cross the border between the two Koreas passed through the Demilitarised Zone on November 30 as negotiations begin to restore international rail traffic between the two countries.
Staffed by 28 South Korean specialists, the test train is due to spend 18 days surveying the condition of the infrastructure on the North Korean network. It is expected to cover more than 1 200 km; the staff will sleep onboard.
