When it comes to railway network,the only limit is your imagination.

Given a mandate to restructure the inefficient state-owned

railway network, Korea Rail Network Authority (KR) was

established to handle construction activities, and train

operations were transferred to the KORAIL.

Imagine a better world where

railway connects the two Koreas,

brings you to people with whom youve fallen out of touch,

and makes us all bind together!

It is no longer a dream but a reality in reach.

Moving forward in hope,

KR will shape the future of Korea.

Thank you for your continued interest in the Korean railway!

Over the last decade and more the Korean railway has been a major drivingforce behind the nations economic growth and regional development. Once therailway industry was suffered from unprecedented market volatility, yet it isnow poised to take off another leap forward, with a view to taking advantages ofa paradigm shift as people put far greater value on the rail mode.

Railway is an ideal alternative to meet the future energy needs and environmentalchallenges. Therefore, the transport policies and investments of manydeveloped countries focus on promoting a rail-oriented network, whicheventually leads to a modal shift.

KR is striving to foster an era of railway renaissance that will become a mainstream in the21st century. In pursuit of enhancing more sustainable mobility, it hasencouraged the development of nationwide rail network since its inception in2004. In particular, KR has achieved the following milestones: opening of theworlds fifth high speed line, electrification of major trunk lines, andconstruction of inter-city rail link in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Besides playing a vital role in meeting the challenges of growing mobility andcompetitiveness, KR is equipped with capabilities of shifting Korea as alogistics hub, linking trans-continental railways such as TKR, TCR, and TSR,and taking the lead in building a global rail network. As demonstrated by itsRailways Make World a Better Place slogan, KR aims at becoming the leader inoffering rail engineering and project management expertise adding a newchapter to the railway history.

In this rapidly changing world, we have reengineered our strategies for the transition to asustainable growth, turning KR into a world leading company in the railwayengineering.Thank you!
