Coach of the UN Forces Commander

This coach was assembled at the Gyeongseong Factory of the Railway Bureau of the Government-General of Joseon (now the Seoul Railway Vehicle Maintenance Depot). It was refitted in 1958 and ran as the dedicated coach for the Commander of the United Nations Forces in Korea and the Commander of the US Eighth Army. Known as VIP Coach No. 17, it carried the 36th President of the United States, Lyndon Johnson, during his visit to Korea in November 1966, an occasion marked by the issue of a commemorative ticket.
