Korail operates the Seoul Metropolitan Subway service between Seoul Station and Munsan Station. ==History== Originally the line continued to P'yŏngyang and Sinŭiju, both of which are now in North Korea, or even to the South Manchuria Railway, linking the Korean railway system to the rest of Asia and Europe. The Korean Empire intended to build the Gyeongui Line with its own resources at the end of the 19th century, but the project stalled due to lack of funds.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Korea’s Railway Network the Key to Imperial Japan’s Control )〕 Imperial Japan, which gained to concession to build the Gyeongbu Line from Busan to Seoul, also sought to gain control of the Gyeongui Line project as its continuation further north, recognising the trunk route as a means to keep Korea under its influence.〔 The line was also advanced for military considerations in expectation of a confrontation with Russia, which came in 1904 as the Russo-Japanese War.〔 At the start of the war, Japan ignored Korea's declaration of neutrality and transported troops to Incheon, and forced the Korean government to sign an agreement that gave Japan's military control of railway projects if deemed necessary for military operations.〔 Japan's military began to build the Gyeongui Line, while troop bases were established in connection with the railway, the biggest of them next to the terminus of the line, Yongsan Station in Seoul.〔 The first section of the Gyeongui Line opened from Yongsan in Seoul to Munsan on April 3, 1906.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=경영원칙 > 경영공시 > 영업현황 > 영업거리현황 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gyeongui Line」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
