Haecheol (Haean: 해철), short for Haesan Cheoldo Gongsa (Haean: 해산철도공사) or Haesan Railway Corporation is a publicly traded corporation which is the national railway operator in Haesan. The corporation operates over 90% of high speed railway service and accounts for 70% of inter-city rail traffic in Haesan. The largest stakeholder is the national government at 51% managed by the Ministry of Transportation, but the corporation has largely operated as a public-private partnership since its inception. The largest non-government shareholder is Suri Heavy Industry, which owns a 22% stake and provides most of the rolling stock for the company.

Haecheol mainly operates inter-city and regional railroads, but also handles freight traffic through much of Haesan, co-operates the Hanyeong Maglev of the Suyang Metropolitan Subway with the government of Suyang, and helps facilitate international connections when geopolitical circumstances allow.

History

Haecheol was founded by the Railway Modernization Act in 1973 by the Lagarde government, shortly after Haesan's reinstatement. One of the goals of the Maximusian provisional government was to restore transportation, including rail access, across Haesan, but in 1973, while regional connections were live little national coordination existed. The aim of the act was to create a corporation which would subsume the renovated assets of the four largest pre-war regional rail services, the Anmi & Central Railway, Compagnie Ferroviaire du Golfe, Promethean & Southern Railway, and Southwestern Railway, all of which had many assets seized by the Daryans in the Great War or were financially ruined as a result. Those assets were placed under the national supervision of Haecheol, and were designated to be supervised by a public/private board of logistics experts, engineers, and industry professionals[d] to fully rebuild the rail network and ensure functional railway service for all cities in Haesan.

In the mid 1980s, as Haesan transitioned to democracy and reconstruction had nearly completed, Haecheol's focus shifted to providing speed and convenience to consumers, and started developing high speed rail routes. In 1991, the first of these, the Trans-Haesan Express (THX) opened to positive reviews from consumers and contractors on the project. The domestically produced Suri H120 train hit 278 km/h (173 mph), then in the top three in the IDU at the time and seen as a major victory for Haesanite engineering. In 1998, the Southern Express Line first opened, funded in large part by Maximusian investments. The last major branch of the ultra-high speed components of Haecheol's railway is the Central Valley Express (CVX), opened in 2008 with significant Xiomeran backing.

Haecheol's original headquarters were located within the Department of Transportation in Hwagang along with a major depot in Nageunho-gu, Suyang. In 1990, the headquarters moved to Nageunho full time. In 2021, new offices and laboratories for the company opened near the rail hub of Jinyun, Sugang, in the Suyang metropolitan area.

While Haecheol is a railway corporation, it also has a large engineering base, and has often tried to the limits of speed throughout its history. The THX has undergone multiple waves of renovations, and the Suri H510 trains currently operating on it reach 424 km/h (263 mph), still one of top 10 fastest speeds of a passenger rail line and fast enough to connect Haesan's two largest cities in a little over two hours. More experimental is the Hanyeong Maglev opened in 2015 in partnership with the governments of Suyang and Hanyeong. The maglev train, which connects Suyang's Central Station with Suyang-Hanyeong International Airport and downtown Hanyeong, in testing has reached speeds of up to 591 km/h (367 mph), which upon its launch was the fastest passenger train in the world although it no longer holds that record.

Today, Haecheol continues to expand the size of the Haesanite rail network, maintain its world class safety record, while continually updating its current services to provide the most rapid transit possible. Haecheol engineers are currently engaged in a battle with Novellan engineers to maintain the fastest rail speed, and are constantly experimenting to reach ever faster speeds.

Domestic service

Haecheol currently operates X (convert) of rail, X of which is electrified standard gauge railway for high-speed and "super high-speed" railways. Haecheol also operates X of narrow gauge rail for regional passenger and freight traffic.
