Measuring two meters high and 2.1-2.2 meters wide, the archshaped tunnel is large enough to move heavy weapons as tanks, field artiller , and armored personnel carriers. More than 30,000 troops could move, three to four abreast (a division in strength), per hour. Bored through 3.5 kilometers of bedrock at a depth of 50-160 meters below ground, the 2nd tunnel extends 1.1 kilometers south of the Military Demarcation Line to a point 101 kilometers from Seoul.

Introduction

invasion of North Korea and the Chinese invasion of South Korea, by 1951 the frontlines had stabilized, cutting across Cheorwon County and the area became part of the Iron Triangle battlefield. The Battle of White Horse took place north of Cheorwon town from 6–15 October 1952 and the Battle of Triangle Hill took place north of Gimhwa-eup from 14 October - 25 November 1952. Following the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, the Korean Demilitarized Zone cut Cheorwon County in two, creating Cheorwon County in South Korea and Chorwon County in North Korea. Weoljeong-ri Station is a historical building in the DMZ remains at Cheorwon. This tourist attraction, which can only be visited on escorted security tours of the DMZ, is an abandoned train station on the northernmost end of the Gyeongwon Line. Near the station was a small train yard where rail stock was stored or shunted before leaving for Wonsan, now in North Korea. Behind the station building, there remains the wreck of a train bombed during the Korean War, and the train’s Locomotive, No. 4001. The train was used by the North Korean army, and was bombed by U.N. forces. "The windows of the train car are twisted toward the sky and the frame and
