Recent Changes
On 26 June 2025 a through train [coach] from Pyongyang arrived in Moscow's Yaroslavsky Station, after a 5 year hiatus in service suspended in February 2021 due to Covid. Two round trip journeys a month are planned between the Capitals.
On 9 October 2024 the North Korean Army stated that it would cut off completely (physically destroy) the railways connected to South Korea. There has been no rail traffic between them for years. In late November 2018 a special inspection train operated by South Korean national operator Korail entered North Korea and carried out infrastructure inspections, returning to South Korea on 17 December. It is possible this was the last train to cross the border.
Lines with Obscure or Sparse passenger services
