The governments of North and South Korea have agreed on plans to create a cross-border train route -- the first such rail crossing in more than 50 years.
"A test-run on 17 May will see one train cross from the North on the east coast and another cross from the South on the west coast, officials said."
"It will be the first such crossing since rail links between the two were severed during the 1950-53 Korean War."
"Reports say Seoul has been pressing to make the crossings more than a one-off event - eventually sending cargo and passenger trains to China, Russia and areas of Europe and Asia."
