Seocho-gu, SeoulDate opened April 1, 1994 Type Underground Platforms/tracks 1 / 2 Operator Seoul Metro Namtaeryeong Station is a station on the Seoul Subway Line 4. It is the southernmost station on Line 4 that is operated by Seoul Metro.
The name of this station literally means "great southern pass," referring to a passageway linking Seoul and Gwacheon, between Mt. Gwanak and Mt. Umyeon.
Most of the provincial railways in South Korea were built during the Japanese occupation of Korea. The left-hand track is still used for trains. But the Seoul Metro, which was constructed much later in the 1970s, used the right-hand track for its subway lines, including Line 4. Therefore, between Namtaeryeong and Seonbawi Stations, where the two lines connect, the underground tracks must cross over from left-to-right and right-to-left.[1]
