Books about Korean railroad

[ptr]

As requested by one user, I've prepared list of best books related to Korean railway.

As far as I know, for example http://www.interpark.com/ and https://www.gmarket.co.kr/ offer international shipping if somebody will be interested in buying.

You can just copy the title of the book to online bookstore search box.

 

On history of Korean railroad:

 

한국 철도의 역사와 발전 (History and Development of Korean rairoad) - 3 books of this series were released.

And there is one monthly magazine covering railroad.

It is called KTX 매거진 (KTX Magazine)

http://www.ktxmagazine.com/pages/story/WA/cont_list?menuId=30900&menuL=2#

It is available to read inside Korean trains, subscription is also possible, however the website is not working properly so right now I can't find any details.

perfect!

I'll try to find one of those, maybe the "120 years history" before, this time I haven't friend that read korean, I hope to find al lot of photos and maybe technical drawings (blueprints) like is common on japanese magazines, "fortunately" some trains are imported version of foreign company (Alstom, Siemens, GE etc...) and, maybe I misunderstood, some cars are similar to japanese rolling stock...  but high speed is my first target 😊

 

thanks!

 

ciao!
