Into the book
I have lived in this world for 70 years.
The world has not been kind to me.
And yet, time ran silently, carrying its burden.
It rattled, rattled, it really ran a lot.
Come to think of it, the railroad has grown old, just like me.
(Omitted) We comfort each other.
I'd like to get some rest now.
Until that day when it disappears forever, I want to rest comfortably and enjoy this time.

--- From the "Prologue"

There is also a red mailbox in the history called the 'Letterbox of Slowness'.
What's different is that
The fact that the input port is divided into two.
If you put a letter in the box, on June 30th every year,
If you put it in the box below, it will be collected by Hamchang Post Office on December 30th every year and sent to your address.

Isn't that truly romantic? Who would want to be in such a remote place, soon to be abandoned?
Did it leave a romantic mark on you?

--- From "Sangju Hamchang Station · Red Slowness Letter Box"

On the way back, looking back from the end of the path, I see Sillim Station peeking out from behind the green foliage.
I keep looking back with a heavy heart, as if to say goodbye to my old mother, as if to tell her to take care, as if to say that we might not see each other again, anticipating a sad and uncertain farewell.
--- From "Wonju Sillim Station · Like my old mother"
