Jeonnam Province Executes Organizational Restructuring of Korea Railroad Corporation Jeonnam Headquarters... Nesting in 'Suncheon'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Jeonnam Province announced on the 7th that Korea Railroad Corporation (KORAIL) has carried out an organizational restructuring by integrating and expanding the Gwangju and Jeonnam headquarters into the "Gwangju-Jeonnam Headquarters" to optimize on-site operations.

This organizational restructuring integrates the Gwangju headquarters into the Jeonnam headquarters located in Suncheon, considering the government's public institution relocation policy, national balanced development, and the impact on the regional economy.

The Gwangju-Jeonnam Headquarters consists of seven departments including the Management and Human Resources Office, with a total of about 2,250 personnel, combining 964 staff from the existing Jeonnam headquarters, 918 from the Gwangju headquarters, and 364 from the Honam Vehicle Management Team.

Main duties include establishing and operating crew plans to ensure safe transportation of passengers and freight, maintaining tracks and structures, and managing safety and environmental tasks.

The existing Gwangju headquarters will maintain the Gwangju Regional Management Team to preserve essential safety-related functions closely connected to the field.

The province expects that with the integration of the previously dual-managed railway operations of the Jeonnam and Gwangju headquarters, a driving force will be secured to promptly advance new railway projects such as the electrification of the Gyeongjeon Line.

A Jeonnam Province official said, "We appreciate the decision to integrate the Korea Railroad Corporation Gwangju headquarters into the Jeonnam headquarters located in Suncheon," adding, "This integration provides an opportunity for Jeonnam Province to play a central role in the domestic railway industry and to make a leap forward."
