Country’s leaders have used the slow, specialised form of transportation for decades
Ahn said those trains have 10 to 15 carriages each, some of which are used only by the leader, such as a bedroom, but others carry security guards and medical staff.
A video released in 2018 showed Kim meeting top Chinese officials in a wide train car ringed with pink couches. Former Russian diplomat Georgy Toloraya wrote in American news outlet NK News, which focuses on North Korean, the elder Kim’s train to Russia in 2001 included one residential carriage, the so-called “headquarters” carriage, a restaurant and several car transportation carriages with two armoured Mercedes.The wheels of Kim Jong-un’s train must be changed in Russia or a North Korean station bordering Russia, because the two countries use different rail gauges, Ahn said.
Kim Jong-il relied solely on trains to visit Russia three times, including a 20,000km trip to Moscow in 2001. The train was “a sweet home and an office,” for the former leader, state television said.
