This steam locomotive is a symbol of the tragic history of the division between North and South Korea, having been abandoned in the DMZ since it was derailed by bombs during the Korean War.
After its historical value was recognized and it became a registered cultural heritage in 2004, it is now on display at its current location.
According to the train driver at the time, the train was secured en route to Pyongyang to deliver war materials due to the intervention of the Chinese Communist forces and was eventually destroyed at Yangdan Station.
