Imagine a railroad linking the great industries of South Korea with Europe. That’s long been the Russian dream, and it’s moving a step ahead with South Korea’s vision for shipping goods through North Korea’s Rason special economic zone adjacent to the North’s 10-mile-long Tumen River border with Russia. The Russians have already rebuilt the railroad over which they once shipped oil and other products at prices way below their real costs to North Korea . The oil stopped flowing with the demise of the Soviet Union in 1991, but Russia has never abandoned its historic interest in the Korean peninsula.
