Former Gaeun Station, Mungyeong

The Gaeun Line was a railway built in the 1950s to develop the anthracite coal deposits around Gaeun, and Gaeun Station was the station house on this line. The building was completed on 8 April 1955, began operating as the ordinary station Eunseong on 15 September 1956, and was renamed Gaeun Station on 1 February 1959. As with the unstaffed halts of the Japanese colonial period, the entrance is set beneath a gable roof, and the plan consists of a waiting room, an office and a ticket booth. As a wooden station building constructed after liberation, it holds rare value as a heritage site connected to the once-thriving coal industry.
