Baekdudaegan V-Train (백두대간협곡열차(V-트레인))

The Baekdudaegan V-Train is a tourist train operated on the Yeongdong Line, running through Yeongju, Bonghwa, Chunyang, Buncheon, Yangwon, Seungbu, and Cheoram. It is Korea's first open-air tourist train that operates through the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range, which is surrounded by cliffs and rocky mountains.
The "V" in V-train symbolizes the deep gorges of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range and also stands for "valley." The white tiger pattern exterior design represents the spirit of the Baekdudaegan Mountain Range, and the interior features large glass windows throughout, allowing passengers to fully experience the pristine nature of the forest and gorges. Furthermore, as an eco-friendly train, it lacks restrooms and modern heating/cooling facilities in the passenger compartments. It offers a romantic experience where passengers can enjoy solar-powered fans in the summer and roast sweet potatoes using wood-burning stoves in the winter.
From Buncheon Station to Seokpo Station in the direction of Cheoram, the train travels slowly at 30 km/h, allowing you to fully appreciate the breathtaking scenery. At Seungbu Station and Yangwon Station, you can purchase simple snacks and agricultural products sold by local villagers during the 10-minute stop.
The train can be reserved by section or as a round trip through the Korail website, and cultural and tourism commentary services can also be requested when making a reservation.
