Heavy security was reported at the Friendship Bridge before the train passed from North Korea to China.

I hope that train doesn’t have an accident on the way home? That is some open country it must travel through. I hear those trains can blow up, derail, catch fire, etc. with no explanation, and in the middle of nowhere.

China and North Korea are just getting their positions synchronized, ahead of a possible U.S.-North Korea chief executives face to face meeting sometime in May. Only the media would label the visit a “surprise” instead of what it is - a totally expected visit, regardless of the particular date of it.
