Koreas to run cross-border freight train everyday from Dec. 11

Yonhap

The two Koreas agreed Thursday to run a daily freight train service across the border starting in mid December to facilitate transportation of raw materials and processed goods between the South Korea-invested industrial park in the North’s border town of Kaesong and the South.

Starting the cross-border cargo rail service for the first time since 1951 was the key agreement reached at last week’s talks between Prime Minister Han Duck-soo and his North Korean counterpart Kim Yong-il in Seoul.
