Hwabon
Station
(7)
is
a
small
and
compact
station
on
the
Jungang
Line
located
in
Hwabon-ri,
Sanseong-myeon,
Gunwi-gun,
Gyeongsangbuk-do.
It
was
completed
in
1936
and
opened
for
business
as
Botong
Station
on
February
1,
1938.
The
current
station
was
renovated
in
2011
by
KORAIL
and
Gunwi-gun,
preserving
the
old
appearance
of
Hwabon
Station
built
in
1936
and
making
it
convenient
for
travelers.
It
has
been
well
renovated
and
decorated.
A
total
of
6
trains
stop
at
Hwabon
Station
a
day,
3
upbound
(towards
Cheongnyangni,
Donghae)
and
3
inbound
(toward
Dongdaegu,
Bujeon),
and
the
average
number
of
passengers
per
day
is
about
20
for
both
boarding
and
alighting,
and
the
train
does
not
stop.
There
are
a
total
of
40
inbound
and
outbound
trains
per
day,
including
approximately
34
passenger
and
freight
trains.
When
you
get
off
at
Hwabon
Station,
you
can
see
typical
historical
buildings
built
during
the
Japanese
colonial
period
and
the
Hwabon
Station
Civil
Monument.
It
was
built
as
part
of
the
โSimplified
Station
Monument
Constructionโ
project
jointly
conducted
by
poet
Park
Hae-soo
and
Daegu
MBC.
It
is
a
simple
station
that
is
not
a
cultural
asset
and
does
not
have
much
to
see,
but
the
erection
of
a
city
monument
creates
a
more
elegant
atmosphere.
Another
attraction
of
Hwabon
Station
is
the
water
tower
located
behind
the
station.
The
water
tower
is
where
you
can
catch
a
glimpse
of
the
traces
of
the
steam
locomotive
that
ran
in
our
country
from
1899
to
1967.
The
Hwabon
Station
water
tower,
built
in
a
circular
model,
is
believed
to
have
been
built
in
the
1930s.
It
is
designated
as
a
railroad
cultural
asset,
and
you
can
even
look
inside.
The
exterior
of
the
water
tower,
which
is
about
20
meters
high,
is
covered
with
ivy.
An
exotic
landscape,
like
the
tower
from
the
German
fairy
tale
<Rapunzel>.
Inside,
two
types
of
pipes
and
vents
that
supply
water
from
the
water
tank
and
raise
heated
water
remain.
The
water
tower,
which
has
not
been
used
for
a
long
time,
is
covered
in
moss
as
if
reflecting
the
passage
of
time,
and
the
phrase
'Coal
cleanup,
coal
conservation'
and
children's
graffiti
are
written
on
the
wall.
Residents
of
this
area
are
expressing
concern,
saying,
"Trains
were
a
useful
means
of
transportation
for
residents
because
road
traffic
in
this
area
was
poor.
However,
as
the
number
of
users
is
decreasing,
there
may
be
no
trains
at
Hwabon
Station
someday."
Thanks
to
the
charm
created
by
the
station
and
water
tower,
there
is
a
constant
flow
of
travelers
to
Hwabon
Station.
Even
today,
the
camera
lens
is
quietly
capturing
Hwabon
Station,
as
if
hoping
that
Hwabon
Station
will
remain
silent
even
with
the
passage
of
time.
