KORAIL this week conducted a trial run of sightseeing and mountain trains launching later this month. The “O-train” that loops around attractions in Taebaek, Jaecheon and Yeongju offers passengers the opportunity to watch their train moving via sightseeing monitors installed inside. The shuttle train is decorated with four seasonal motifs of the Korean mountains and features an observation platform, rooms with different-sized beds, a children’s playground and coffee shops. The other mountain train, named “V-train,” offers breathtaking views as it climbs steep hills of the mountainous region of Gangwon Province.
