[1][2] The train began running on April 12, 2013, passes through the valleys of Baekdudaegan, along the gorge of the Nakdong River[3] and shuttles the 27.7 kilometers back and forth from Cheoram in Gangwon-do, to Buncheon in Gyeongsangbuk-do.

[4] The train has three cars which are retro in style, with a charcoal stove,[5] incandescent lamps,[6] and large windows; and along with the whistle stops, it has an older feel.

[7] It travels at an average speed of 30 kilometers per hour in most sections and stops every now and then at photogenic spots.

[1][10] The train's Buncheon Station sits on a railway line which first opened in 1955 and was busy with coal transports, until the industry slowed.

The V-Train is complemented by Korail Mugunghwa-ho trains on the route which provide connections to Donghae and Yeongju.
