Daegok station (Goyang)

Daegok station (Korean대곡역) is a station on Seoul Subway Line 3, the Gyeongui–Jungang Line and the Seohae Line. It is located in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea.[2] It is mainly used as a transfer station between the three lines rather than as an actual enter-and-exit stop, as the station is located in the midst of farmland with very little local resident demand.
