This railroad crossing is located in northern part of Seoul station. It is named Seosomun Crossing. Many trains are passing through:
0:24 : KTX (TGV-K) / It is S.Korea's first high-speed train introduced in 2004. There are 20 cars on one KTX. The maximum speed is 300 km/h.
1:08 : Mugunghwa Train / It is the most common train in S.Korea. Trains stop at almost every stations. There are 2~10 cars on one train. The maximum speed is 150 km/h.
1:52 : ITX-Saemaul / It is a new train to replace second generation Seamaul trains. Trains stop at major stations. There are 6 cars on one train. The maximum speed is 150 km/h.
2:14 : Saemaul Train / It is a second generation Seamaul trains. The train stopped only at major stations, but shut down on April 30, 2018 (Because this train is old.). There are 6~8 cars on one train. The maximum speed is 150 km/h.
2:37 : DMZ Train / This train is a tourist train to visit the DMZ, a region close to North Korea. DMZ (DeMilitarized zone) is a place where there is a demarcation line between North Korea and South Korea.). There are 3~4 cars on one train. The maximum speed is 120 km/h.

That railway crossing is Seosomun Crossing(Seosomun mean West-Small Door. This is a gate built in the Joseon Dynasty in 1396. a crossing near the Seosomun was built and the name Seosomun came.) Seoul Station is near the crossing. There are many trains running here because trains that start or end at Seoul Station or Yongsan Station go to the base or exit from the base and sometimes cargo trains pass here. 0:24 : KTX(TGV-K) / It is S.Korea's first high-speed train introduced in 2004.

seosomun-railroad crossing is one of the most crowded railroad crossing in south korea. There are so many different types of trains passing there in less than five or one minutes.

[@molaehin5545]

I know where that is as I stayed at a hotel near there on several occasions when visiting Seoul. I was surprised to see an old style level crossing given Seoul has one of the most extensive underground metro systems of anywhere on planet Earth 😮😁

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

Great video and wonderful mix of trains. I love the profile shot at 3:30; so cool!! I really love the trains in South Korea. Makes me want to travel there again!

[@ErebosSan]

Thanks! There will be more videos of Korean trains: KTX, Daegu monorail and some tourist trains.

[@FLTC406]

En Corée du Sud, j'ai l'impression de retrouver des trains de tout pays. La Locomotive diesel avec une ressemblance avec les Loco diesel américaine, la sorte de BR152 et bien-sûr les KTX ! Encore une belle vidéo

[@ErebosSan]

Corée du Sud. Au nord, on ne m'aurait pas laissé filmer comme ça !!!

[@FLTC406]

Ah oui ! C'est rectifier

[@AndreiTupolev]

Looks like some fascinatingly varied rolling stock. They have TGVs in S. Korea then? That electric loco' looks a lot like DB class 152. And that one 1:54 is very interesting. And GM diesels too!

[@ErebosSan]

You are right: KTX (0:23) is based on TGV Réseau and Korail Class 8200 (1:08) is based on Siemens EuroSprinter (as DB Class 152).

[@user-vj9qw3cz4x]

You're right,I'm Korean and our rolling stocks are quite global lol: French high speed trains, French electric locos for freight train, German electric locos for passenger train, American diesel locos, Japanese subways,,, etc. Although Almost all of them made by hyundai or other Korean maker but there bases are so global.. ps. You can see a Japanese style subway pulling by a American diesel when there is a new subway arrive haha

[@allaboardfun4543]

Love all the European-Korean rolling stock!

[@puikepuck]

That train at 1:08 rather looks like Siemens TRAXX, in use by many European railway companies in regular Intercity service and by NS in the Netherlands as high-speed loco (capable of speeds up to 200 km/h, though normally used for speeds up to 160 km/h only).

[@user-yq2co6no7v]

korea is using many kinds of trains: KTX is based on TGV and almost every korean disel train is from GM

[@tenbeuTV]

KTX-I, KTX-II(KTX- sancheon), Mugunghaw, Semaul, ITX-Semaul, DMZ tour Train, Subway(경의선) are In this Video.

[@Luke_Starkenburg]

The train at 3:01 looks like a very short metro (subway) train. It's amazing to see a train like this running on the same tracks as high speed and intercity trains! Also the mix of diesel and electric catenary wire trains is interesting to watch.

[@ErebosSan]

This is a commuter train of the Gyeongui line. This line connects Seoul to the border with North Korea but only the DMZ train (2:37) goes to the final station. Most of the trains seen in the video are empty and are going to the depot.

[@user-jj5yu3dt3w]

Many train use same track near seoul station but their destinations are different. But there's some tracks that don't have electric wire. So some trains that go through that line use diesel.

[@TV-jz8vu]

@@ErebosSan By the way the train is a 4 car shuttle running from Munsan to Seoul station. (Shuttle running due to heavy passenger numbers)

[@Thomas1980]

great railroad crossing!

[@user-cq5zk6qs1x]

Wow! There are so many different trains in Korea!

[@pcorf]

First KTX is a train the same as to TGV in France but double the length, some were built in France. 1:46 a couple of rock doves also joining in with the train spotting. 2:12 a nice sounding EMD.

[@franciscosalcedo8754]

EMD GT26CW-2

[@MrBnsftrain]

Nice to see some TGVs were sent for export! the engine at 1:10 also looked like something used in France!

[@ErebosSan]

This is a Siemens EuroSprinter locomotive.

[@justinbourget1560]

Yeah,the new amtrak acela 2 is look like a little bit of french tgv(train à grande vitesse) 🙂🇲🇶🇨🇦

[@TV-jz8vu]

@@ErebosSan Hmm that is true but as I know Korail class 8100s are based on it and the train at the crossing was a copied Korean Korail class 8200. I might be wrong.

[@jessedarwich4121]

1:35 What mech bell is that? It looks like WRRS mini bell! That would be the last thing I would think of when thinking of crossing bells in Taiwan!

I noticed what looks like some unused WRRS mechanical "mini" bells on the masts.

[@TERRYExpresS]

Belles prises Erebos ! Pas facile de trouver un point de spot comme celui-ci en plein milieu d'une mégalopole aussi immense que Séoul ! Je constate que leurs TGV sont extrêmement longs, identiques avec l'Eurostar E300 et ses 18 caisses !

[@ErebosSan]

Oh, je l'avais repéré avant de partir ! Et leur KTX dérive directement du TGV Réseau. Mais les 18 voitures étaient un peu de trop, pour la 2eme version ils sont revenus aux 8 voitures !

Très belle vidéo très intéressante, je trouve également à noter une diversité de matériel, et aussi je trouve étonnant que si près d'une grande gare, il n'y aie que deux voies

[@ErebosSan]

En fait la plupart des trains qui partent de la gare de Séoul vont vers de sud. Au nord il n'y a que des trains de banlieue et quelques KTX qui vont jusqu'à l'aéroport d'Incheon. Mais c'est aussi le chemin vers le dépôt, ce qui permet d'avoir cette diversité.

The warning lights are very sparse in S. Korea at those large intersection crossings compared to the 6 or more pairs of warning lights at such crossings in the U.S. Furthermore only one set is flashing. The others are steady red. In the U.S. all warning lights flash.
