This work is a short record of the final month of an old train called 'Bidulgi-Ho'(means pigeon), which ran on the Korean railway's Janghang-Line in November 1998. Bidulgi-Ho accompanied the daily lives of ordinary people. People began the day by getting off the train, and in the evening, they gathered one by one on Bidulgi-Ho. This space, where they always sat in the same seat, chatted, and took a nap, was a sanctuary like another home. Each life was different, but Bidulgi-Ho carried them without discrimination. And it quietly left without saying goodbye. However, each life continued.
