Kume Daminoske and others, who paid attention to Geumgangsan Mountain tourism, established Geumgangsan Electric Railway Co., Ltd. in December 1919 for the purpose of developing Geumgangsan Mountain tourist attractions. In 1931, the Geumgang Line with a total length of 116.6km was built connecting Cheorwon Station and Naegeumgang Station on the Gukcheol Gyeongwon Line. Geumgangsan Electric Railway Co., Ltd. operated the railroad by using electricity as power. In other words, starting with the Jungdae-ri hydroelectric power plant, the first watershed-changing power plant in Korea, Hyangcheonri, Panyuri, and Shinilri power plants were built one after another in Hoeyang-gun, Gangwon-do. Japanese civil engineering contractors such as Okura-gumi, Matsumoto-gumi, Hazama-gumi, and Kumakigumi-gumi were in charge of the actual construction of the power plant and railway construction of Geumgangsan Electricity. However, there were many difficult works because these works were carried out in remote parts of Gangwon-do. In particular, tunneling work of power plants and excavation and short termination work of railway construction were very difficult because they had to drill through hard rock. Furthermore, the Japanese Government-General of Korea issued a ‘Land Expropriation Order’ for the construction of the railway. Workers’ accidents continued as it was a difficult construction. In addition, electric shock accidents occurred frequently because it was an electric railway. Accidents continued to occur even after all railroads were built. Workers were engaged in construction at low wages, and conflicts frequently arose between Japanese directors and workers at construction sites. Residents near the railroad ‘attacked’ the railroad by placing stones on it to induce the railroad to derail it. Japanese imperialism dealt with this strictly, such as issuing prison sentences, but this ‘obstruction of migration’ occurred constantly. Meanwhile, workers tried to secure their rights and interests by forming the Labor-Farm Alliance.
Abstract
Kume Daminoske and others, who paid attention to Geumgangsan Mountain tourism, established Geumgangsan Electric Railway Co., Ltd. in December 1919 for the purpose of developing Geumgangsan Mountain tourist attractions. In 1931, the Geumgang Line with a total length of 116.6km was built connecting Cheorwon Station and Naegeumgang Station on the Gukcheol Gyeongwon Line. Geumgangsan Electric Railway Co., Ltd. operated the railroad by using electricity as power.
