Paju (11 December 2007) - After more than a half century, North and South Korea have restored a rail link. The first freight train passed the heavily-guarded border between the two countries on Tuesday.

The first train to North Korea transported curbstones for road building. Freight trains between the two Koreas are to become a daily occurrence; it is hoped that rail traffic will eventually be opened to passengers. Rail links were broken during the Korean War in the early 1950s.
