Koreas make tracks towards peace« Thread Started on May 17, 2007, 5:30pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Koreas make tracks towards peacePOSTED: 1039 GMT (1839 HKT), May 17, 2007 read at source> http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/asiap ... htmlMUNSAN, South Korea (CNN) -- In the latest sign of reconciliation between the two Koreas, a pair of passenger trains crossed in opposite directions between North and South on Thursday -- the first to make the journey through the heavily militarized frontier in more than half a century. The trains, crossing from opposite sides of the divided peninsula, carried Korean passengers on a test run over tracks not traversed since the early 1950s, when war broke out and the rails were cut by U.S. and U.N. forces.A two-mile wide demilitarized border separates the neighbors and travel to and from the reclusive communist North is extremely limited.But on Thursday, passengers boarded a train at Kumgangsan Station in eastern North Korea and crossed the border to Jejin Station.Separately, passengers at South Korea's Munsan Station on the opposite side of the divide were sent off amid fireworks and white balloons as their train journeyed north to Kaeson Station, The Associated Press reported.
