Train 1001, 712th TROB, Chunchon Line
River valleys often provide the only avenues of practical military troop movement and logistical support in rugged mountainous terrains. Note from this photo taken from Train 1001 on the Chunchon Line, the nearly flat-lying attitude of the train tracks in the river valley. The location of the Chunchon Rail Line is shown on the 3rd TMRS rail system map on the top of page 4.
After nearly 60 years since the war, I had long forgotten the precise location where I took the photo. However, with kkkk8155's kind help (see comments below) I now know that the mountain may be Chon-ma in Nam-yang-ju, and that I was likely between the towns of Keum-Kok and Ma-sok. On the 3rd TMRS rail system map (on the top of page 4) they are spelled Kumkok and Masok. Thanks once again, kkkk8155.
