Joint Railway Inspection In North Korea Begins

After the ROK completes this railway inspection they will know how much cash they will need to handover to Kim Jong-un to upgrade his railway lines while he does little to nothing in return.  The artillery along the DMZ is still there pointed at Seoul and the ballistic missiles and rockets are still there pointed at other cities in South Korea:

A South Korean train departed for North Korea on Friday for an 18-day joint railway inspection that the Koreas are conducting as part of efforts to modernize, and eventually reconnect, rail lines across their border.

The train, made up of six cars and carrying dozens of South Korean officials and experts, left Dorasan Station, just south of the inter-Korean border, around 9:05 a.m. for Panmun Station, near the North’s border city of Kaesong.

The train will be used to inspect 1,200 kilometers of rail track in the North through Dec. 17.

The inspection is part of a summit agreement between the leaders of the Koreas, signed in April, to modernize and eventually reconnect rail systems across their border in a bid to foster reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula.

“The inter-Korean railway connection project is intended to overcome division and open a new future of the Korean Peninsula,” Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon told a ceremony at Dorasan Station to mark the launch of the inspection.  [Yonhap]

You can read more at the link, but I wonder if the South Korean officials on this train will get to see the North Korean child slave labor in action maintaining the rails?

With the trains up and running, Moon can send all his opposition to the gulags up north by rail. Kim will welcome the new slave labor with open arms!

I wonder how far down an AK can be broken down? Norks in civilian clothes with their weapons “travel” to the south and leave the train south of Seoul and melt into the population, waiting for the Norks to “reunify” the peninsula…

Doc, it might not take an AK. Imagine a busload of “nerds with pocket protectors full of pens”…

Can you imagine the sheer boredom of riding that train for 18 days straight? Better bring a stack of good books (I’m assuming there won’t be any internet).
