The Suin Line (???, ???) was a 52 km narrow-gauge railway connecting Suwon and Incheon in South Korea. Opened on August 5, 1937, by the Ch?sen Gyeongdong Railway, it primarily transported salt from the Sorae area. In 1942, the Ch?sen Railway acquired the line, and following Korea’s liberation in 1945, it was nationalized under the […]]]> https://spanjersberg.net/2024/12/10/revisiting-the-suin-line-television-chronicles-of-a-bygone-railway/feed/ 0 https://spanjersberg.net/2024/08/16/wat-verdiende-een-arbeider-bij-de-stoomtram-naar-huisduinen/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=wat-verdiende-een-arbeider-bij-de-stoomtram-naar-huisduinen https://spanjersberg.net/2024/08/16/wat-verdiende-een-arbeider-bij-de-stoomtram-naar-huisduinen/#respond Thu, 15 Aug 2024 22:33:06 +0000 https://www.spanjersberg.net/?p=3432

Rond 1900 speelde het onderwerp “arbeidsomstandigheden” een belangrijke rol in de toenmalige politiek. Dat had vooral te maken met de opkomst van sociaaldemocratische partijen in West-Europa, die vaak gelieerd waren aan allerlei vakbonden, vaak georganiseerd per sector. De grote spoorwegstaking van 1903 leidde tot aandacht voor de arbeidsomstandigheden bij het spoor. Dit leidde tot de […]]]> https://spanjersberg.net/2024/08/16/wat-verdiende-een-arbeider-bij-de-stoomtram-naar-huisduinen/feed/ 0 https://spanjersberg.net/2023/05/27/de-tram-ontspoort/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=de-tram-ontspoort https://spanjersberg.net/2023/05/27/de-tram-ontspoort/#respond Fri, 26 May 2023 22:23:25 +0000 https://www.spanjersberg.net/?p=3393

Zondag 6 september 1914 was een aangenaam warme dag. Volgens historische gegevens van KNMI was het tussen de 15 en 18,5 graden in Den Helder. Er stond niet veel wind, dus een bezoek aan het strand van Huisduinen was zeker een optie zo aan het einde van het badseizoen. De Huisduiner tram was dan ook […]]]> https://spanjersberg.net/2023/05/27/de-tram-ontspoort/feed/ 0 https://spanjersberg.net/2022/10/03/het-veranderende-tramstation-van-huisduinen/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=het-veranderende-tramstation-van-huisduinen https://spanjersberg.net/2022/10/03/het-veranderende-tramstation-van-huisduinen/#respond Sun, 02 Oct 2022 22:27:48 +0000 https://www.spanjersberg.net/?p=3335

Tussen 1896 en 1917 reed van Den Helder naar Huisduinen de tram. De tram werd gedurende twee perioden geëxploiteerd door twee verschillende trammaatschappijen. Het eerste trambedrijf, van Jan Pot, bestond van 1896 tot 1907, het tweede bedrijf, een samenwerking van inwoners van Den Helder, van 1910 tot 1917. Gedurende de twee decennia dat de tram […]]]> https://spanjersberg.net/2022/10/03/het-veranderende-tramstation-van-huisduinen/feed/ 0 https://spanjersberg.net/2018/03/04/li-article-about-railways-in-north-korea/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=li-article-about-railways-in-north-korea https://spanjersberg.net/2018/03/04/li-article-about-railways-in-north-korea/#respond Sun, 04 Mar 2018 09:16:37 +0000 http://www.spanjersberg.net/?p=2220

The Locomotives International edition of June/July 2017 (number 108) contains an article by Eugen Takacs about his recent experiences in North Korea titled “A North Korean Railway Odyssey”.

The shortest stretch of the SuIn line was inside Suwon city. This ran from the Suwon railway station to the south, after which it would run up a ramp to cross both a main street and the main (standard gauge) railway line. The only remaining part of this part of the line, the part on […]]]> https://spanjersberg.net/2015/02/15/the-suwon-inchon-narrow-gauge-line-the-line-within-suwon-city/feed/ 2 https://spanjersberg.net/2015/01/02/korail-manual-crossing-at-seobinggo/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=korail-manual-crossing-at-seobinggo https://spanjersberg.net/2015/01/02/korail-manual-crossing-at-seobinggo/#comments Fri, 02 Jan 2015 11:45:41 +0000 http://www.spanjersberg.net/?p=890

While taking the train from Seoul Station to Chuncheon I noticed there are still quite a few railway crossings in the Jungang Line within Seoul city. Within a few minutes after departing Seoul Station the train crosses roads twice before Ichon station (??) and once more just after Seobinggo station (???).

The original Suwon to Inchon line (??? ????) ran all the way from Inchon harbour to Suwon (??) station, but by the end of the existence of the line this was no longer the case.

After a visit to the Korean topographical services in Suwon I ended up with a lot of maps (both 1:25.000 and 1:50.000) of the whole length of the Suwon to Inchon narrow gauge railway. The office had created 3 map sets for me: 1975, 1987 and 1996, or effectively the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s.

The line from Suwon to Omokcheon is mainly through build-up area, but after Omokcheon the country really opens up. The dominating feature here is the KTX viaduct built to allow the high speed railway run without interruption from Seoul to Busan.
