They have a small railway station around Samsung village, which lies about 5 km north of Gyeongsan. Japanese completed the railway linking Seoul to Busan about 100 years ago when they tried to colonize Korea. Samsung station that began passenger service 85 years ago was only one of the stations along the railway. However, the time has passed and the station was closed last year because of a decrease in commercial passengers so the typical view of the station crowded with morning commuters from the nearby villages will not be seen anymore.
Most villagers who used to take the trains have got older, and buses and private cars which became another popular form of transportation among their young families, have been substituted for the train.
Samsung village and station are not related to Samsung Electronics at all.😸
