A South Korean train passes the gates as South Koreans wave unification flags near Dorasan Station near the demilitarized zone (DMZ) of Panmunjom, in Paju, north of Seoul, May 17, 2007. North and South Korea were preparing to send the first trains across their heavily fortified border since the 1950-53 war, an event hailed by the South as a milestone for reconciliation.
