[Alpha Biz=(Chicago) Reporter Paul Lee] In the second half of last year, the Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) was fined 1.92 billion won in connection with the power outage on the Suseo Express Line (SRT) Tongbok Tunnel and the death of an employee at Jeongbalsan Station on Seoul Metropolitan Subway Line No. 3.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said on the 8th that it will impose a fine of 1.92 billion won on Korail and 120 million won on the Seoul Transportation Corporation after holding the second administrative disposition review committee on KORAIL and Seoul Transportation Corporation's violation of the Railway Safety Act on the 7th.
KORAIL was fined 1.8 billion won for a train track departure accident last year and the death of an Obong Station employee on Jan. 27, and will be fined nearly 2 billion won again in less than two months.
The power failure in the Tongbok Tunnel, which occurred on Dec. 30 last year, caused property damage of 5.6 billion won and delayed and canceled 189 trains.
