At that time this train was for some students in Yugok, Hagyongphyong, Onje and Sinyuphyong villages in Paekam County on the Paekmu Plateau.

The operation of the train continued even in the period of the arduous march, the forced march when the country was in short supply of everything.

A few years ago, leader Kim Jong Il acquainted himself in detail with the commuting of students in remote mountainous villages and islets across the country and made sure that relevant units ensured the commuting in a responsible way. So the student commuter trains have run on a regular basis under the care of the state.

At present the students in Paekam County go to schools by the commuter train sent by President Kim Il Sung.
