※ This video was produced in 2004 and may differ from the current situation. ▶ With transportation options reaching saturation, the world's attention has turned to high-speed rail. Five countries—the United States, Canada, Taiwan, and China, along with Europe—are currently pursuing highway projects, while six others—Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, and Brazil—are developing plans, creating a global high-speed rail construction boom. However, only Japan, France, and Germany possess the technological prowess to build high-speed rail, the pinnacle of cutting-edge technology. South Korea opened its high-speed rail line on April 1, 2004, becoming the fifth country in the world to do so. However, behind this glory are the unsung heroes of high-speed rail construction, who have quietly toiled for 12 years amidst trials, despair, and sometimes social criticism. These are the key figures who have quietly led the construction, despite countless challenges, to the creation of the Gyeongbu High-Speed ​​Railway, the largest construction project since the founding of the nation. The construction miracle that began in the wilderness is now creating another milestone in the global high-speed rail market, with Koreans participating in the Taiwan High-Speed ​​Rail project. However, their challenges are far from over. Their march will continue until Korea emerges as a logistics hub in Northeast Asia through high-speed rail. ※ This video is from [Secret of Myth Creation - Build a 34.4km Test Track: Gyeongbu High-Speed ​​Rail Project], aired on April 2, 2004. #High-SpeedRail #Construction #Construction This is the official KBS Documentary channel.
