서울역서 평양행 열차표 발권 행사 열려
It's been more than a month since President Moon Jae-in and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un signed the Panmunjom Declaration at their historic summit and discussed issues to improve inter-Korean relations.
And on Sunday...more than five-hundred South Koreans gathered at Seoul Station to head to Dorasan station, the northernmost stop on South Korea's Gyeongui railway line…hoping for the reunification of the divided Koreas.
Ko Roon-hee reports. A temporary ticket office opened Sunday at Seoul Station selling tickets to a special destination -- Pyongyang.
It was an event sponsored by the national railway operator Korail and the Ministry of Unification.
Although the train only goes as far Dorasan station, the northernmost stop on South Korea's Gyeongui line, it marked the first time an ordinary passenger train has carried a group so far north.
Those making the trip expressed hope for the two Koreas to reunify.

"I'm very excited today. I hope the day will come when everyone can actually go to Pyongyang and buy their tickets at Seoul station."

Notable guests were there, including officials like Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon , who emphasized the city's role in bringing peace to the Korean Peninsula.

"Seoul station will play a big role in the future. It will be the starting point and the ending point of a trans-Eurasia railroad."

More than five-hundred people got on this train,... leaving behind those who unfortunately couldn't get a ticket.

"Usually, the trip north is on a small sightseeing train with room for fewer than 80 people.
But on Sunday, this full-size passenger train was rolled out to make room for hundreds."

The hour-and-a-half trip to Dorasan station offered some rarely seen views.

"I am so happy to be taking part in this event. I love the beautiful scenery outside. It's even more meaningful because I'm heading north."

After arriving at the station,… only two-kilometers away from the Military Demarcation Line, participants were taken on a short tour.
They also enjoyed musical performances dedicated to the reunification of the divided Koreas,... and to stability and peace on the Peninsula.
The event's organizers say they will work to run the trains on a regular basis... so more people can make the symbolic trip.
