Incheon Named Test City for High-Tech Train

Incheon Named Test City for High-Tech Train
The port city of Incheon has been chosen as the test site for Korea's first magnetic levitation train project.

The project calls for a US$480 million investment to build a special mag-lev rail then test-run the trains.

Incheon was chosen by the Korea Institute of Construction and Transportation Technology Evaluation and Planning on Tuesday as it received high marks for suitability, funding plan and drive to carry out the project.

Track design is set to be ready by next year with construction wrapping up by 2011 and test runs of the mag-lev trains beginning in 2012.
