Imjingang Station (Korean: 임진강역) is a railway station on the Gyeongui–Jungang Line. It initially opened on September 30, 2001, and was originally served by the Commuter Train running between Seoul and Dorasan. However, on July 1, 2009, the Commuter Train services were reduced to operate only between Munsan and Dorasan. Later, the DMZ Train service replaced the Commuter Train on May 4, 2014. Passengers on the DMZ Train traveling to Dorasan station had to disembark at Imjingang Station to present identification and documents before continuing their journeys, as Dorasan station is located within the Civilian Control Zone. On October 2, 2019, the DMZ Train stopped operations due to concerns about the spread of African swine fever in South Korea. Consequently, the station did not receive any trains until March 28, 2020, when the Gyeongui–Jungang Line was extended to Imjingang Station, and a new 3.7 km shuttle service between Munsan and Imjingang began operations. On December 11, 2021, another new 3.7 km shuttle service between Imjingang Station and Dorasan Station commenced operations. This service operates only once during weekends and public holidays. Passengers traveling to Dorasan station are required to disembark at Imjingang Station to present identification and documents before being allowed to continue their journeys, as Dorasan station is located within the Civilian Control Zone.

Dorasan Station (Korean: 도라산역) is a railway station situated on the Gyeongui–Jungang Line, which formerly connected the North Korean and South Korean rail systems and has since been restored. Dorasan Station is located approximately 650 meters (710 yards) from the southern boundary of the Korean Demilitarized Zone and is currently the northern terminus of Korail's Gyeongui-Jungang Line, which is served by a shuttle service to Imjingang Station. North of Dorasan Station, the former Gyeongui Line continues as the Korean State Railway's P'yŏngbu Line, but this connection is not in regular service. The station's current purpose is largely symbolic of the hope for eventual Korean reunification. On December 11, 2007, freight trains began traveling north past Dorasan Station into North Korea, taking materials to the Kaesong Industrial Region and returning with finished goods. It was scheduled to make one 16-kilometer (9.9 mi) trip every weekday. On December 1, 2008, however, the North Korean government closed the border crossing after accusing South Korea of a confrontational policy. This coincided with the 2008 South Korean legislative election and a change to a more conservative government. The border crossing was subsequently opened and closed repeatedly, with the most recent reopening having been on September 16, 2013. On December 11, 2021, a new 3.7 km (2¼ mile) Gyeongui–Jungang Line shuttle service between Imjingang Station and Dorasan Station began operations. This service operates only once during weekends and public holidays.
