Stock Photo - Tourists walk on a railway line at the closest railway station to North Korea, Dorasan Station, South Korean's hope for rail connection to North Korea, while on a tour of the sensitive Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in Paju district of South Korea, 28 March 2013. The rail line was built in hope it would link the two Korea's through the north Korean capital Pyyongyang (205km away) and on to China and Russia. However the Gyeongui rail line stops at Dorasan, as only a test run and freight trains headed to Kaesong Industrial complex in 2007 have ever seen brief operation. The station now carries tourists from Seoul to the sensitive region just outside the DMZ. South and North Korea are technically still at war after the 1950 to 1953 Korean war ended in an armistice and the Korean peninsular remains divided since then. A 250 km long and some four km wide demilitarized Zone (DMZ) runs across the Korean peninsular and is regarded as the most militarized border in the world. | usage worldwide. - Panmunjom/Republic of Korea
