https://www.nknews.org/2019/02/like-father-like-son-a-train-journey-across-siberia-with-kim-jong-il/ >Typically the media refers to Kim’s train as “armored” (producing allusions to the revolutionary armored trains of the past). >However, Russian technicians, inspecting the train, concluded that there were only armored sheets beneath the floor of the two main cars (official and residential). They also found out that the carriages had Soviet origin, though were almost certainly modernized later (some rumors said with the help of Koreans in Japan). >Kim Jong Il’s train included one residential carriage, the so-called official “HQ” carriage, a restaurant, several car-transportation carriages (with two armored Mercedes), and several carriages for the entourage and staff. >The Russian hosts mostly saw the inside of the “HQ” carriage. It was very comfortable but not luxurious, and was equipped with facilities quite advanced for that time. For example, it had two big LED screens used for playing films, a GPS location and route tracker, and data about the places we passed — on the economy, names of the governors, and other information. >The train had a satellite communication system and all the carriages were connected. Each Korean carriage contained five compartments (Russians have nine).
