Manufactured in 1897 by the Illinois Steel Company in the United States, this is a small rail (30 kg/m) used in building the Gyeongin Line, which opened in 1899, making it the first railway rail ever introduced to Korea. It has been on display since 1936, when the Railway Museum opened at the Railway Workers' Training Institute in Yongsan, Seoul.
