The Gyooe Line (suburb line) is a railway line in Gyeonggi Province,South Korea,that connects Neunggok Station in Goyang City (northwest of Seoul) with Uijeongbu Station in Uijeongbu,north of Seoul.
Work on the line began already in October 1959. [1] Following the 1961 coup,the Supreme Council for National Reconstruction started South Korea's first five-year plan,which included a construction program to complete the railway network,to foster economic growth. [1] The 31.8 km (19.8 mi) line from Neunggok on the Gyeongui Line to Uijeongbu on the Gyeongwon Line was incorporated into the program and was completed on August 20,1963. [1]
Currently,the line is single-track,unelectrified, [2] sees very little use and has no scheduled passenger service. Irregular freight train service was stopped in October 2013;Iryeong Station was downgraded to unattended station on January 24,2014. After that,the line became inoperational and used for model photoshooting etc. more or less legally until test run of freight trains resumed at the end of 2015 until end of January 2016. Following to the re-railing works at the northern part of Seoul Station,a need to re-route the freight trains through Gyooe lines occurred,and as the Yongsan Line became underground thus unusable for peacetime freight train service (incline of 34.5 permils) and Hyochang Line was abolished,the trains have to be rerouted through the Gyooe Line and thus test operation resumed on April 20,2016,with its railroad crossings operational and staffed again. Regular freight train operation resumes on May 16,2016.
