Site of Former Jangdan Station on the Gyeongui Railroad Line, Paju

This is the site of Jangdan Station, which was built when the Gyeongui Railroad Line opened; until the Korean War, the area around the station was home to a financial cooperative and a concentration of various shops. During the Korean War the station building burned down along with the steam locomotive now preserved as the "Steam Locomotive of Former Jangdan Station on the Gyeongui Line" (a National Registered Cultural Heritage), and today only the platform, a freight-unloading area and part of the railway track remain. As a railway facility connected with modern history, it is a historic site that brings together the Korean War, the division of North and South, and the prospect of unification.
