SEOUL, May 30 (Yonhap) -- Nationwide rail operations disrupted by the collapse of an overpass in Seoul this week will fully resume Sunday, the Korea Railroad Corp. (KORAIL) said Saturday. KORAIL said it completed recovery work using all available resources and will restore normal operations on all train lines beginning Sunday. On Tuesday, a section of the Seosomun Overpass in central Seoul undergoing demolition collapsed during an on-site safety inspection, killing three people and injuring three others. KORAIL officials carried out overnight repairs after the Seoul city government completed demolition work at the accident site on Friday. The operator also conducted safety inspections, including test runs of maintenance vehicles and trains, before deciding to return all serviced trains to operation.
