Suin Line

The Suin Line is a former narrow-gauge railway line in South Korea. The line connected Suwon on the Gyeongbu Line to Incheon on the Gyeongin Line. The line of old was abandoned in 1995.

The line is currently being rebuilt in standard gauge as well as double-track; it will link the Bundang Line, currently being extended to Suwon, to Incheon via Ansan and Siheung.
