Gyeongin Line
The
Gyeongin Line (
Gyeonginseon (
경인선;
京仁線) in
Korean) was the first railway line built on the Korean peninsula, built in 1899 and connecting Noryangjin to
Incheon. Soon after, the line was extended across the
Han River into
Seoul. When the section of the
Gyeongbu Line from Guro to
Busan was completed, the
Seoul-Guro section of the Gyeongin Line became part of the
Gyeongbu Line. The
Korean National Railroad operated regular passenger service along the Gyeongin Line until the early 1970s, when it began operating Line 1 of the Seoul Subway. Line 1 trains provide frequent service between
Seoul, Yongsan, Guro, and
Incheon, as well as to Suweon, Cheongnyangni, Euijeongbu.
