Train-racing and passing trains action:

 

This is a commuter train, and was surprisingly waiting on the metro/subway tracks of Guro Station...

The new line, for now, ends where an already-existing line ends (Oido Station):

Right next to "나가는곳" and under "Exit" says "出口". That could be read as any Chinese dialect or Japanese (or Korean 한자). Which is the tertiary language on the multilingual signs?

Chinese may be the tertiary language, since many Americans are coming in and because many Koreans are learning English.

 

Japanese signs are also present, (making it the 4th language) but are harder to find than the Chinese signs.

Like in Japan where signs are in Japanese, English, Chinese and Korean.

What is the number and ratio of km above the ground and underground?

 

 

LMAO... That abandoned station looks better than most (MTA) subway stations... Smh

In Paris, our abandonned stations are full of graffiti and those stations are underground!  :lol:
