As two leaders of South and North Korea announced the historical Joint Declaration in June 15, 2000, the reconnection of the railway and highway between South and North Korea is being enforced as an implementation project. The purpose of connecting railway in two divided lands is to establish the new transportation network not only in the Korean Peninsula but also all throughout the Northeast Asia with the concept of Iron Silk Road Railway between Asia and Europe. The economical and political benefits accrued from the project are expected to be immense.

For smooth connection and efficient transportation network, many technological issues are to be examined including matters related to rail tracks, public work facilities, electrification, signaling, communications, operational systems, the differences in regulations governing railway facilities, and more. In order to resolve these complicated issues, an accurate technological analysis on North Korea's railway system and international railway system is required and technological countermeasures for securing a smooth interface with South Korea's railway will become necessary.
