If you want it done right, do it yourself.

It looks to be about 350 miles as the crow flies from Pyonyang to the Russian border. 32 hours by train!?

I remember reading years ago that during a famine the Chinese sent a train load of food. The North Koreans wouldn’t return the train.

I had to go look on the map.
It’s about 260 miles from Pyongyang to the border with Russia.
And it took them 34 hours to get there.
Great transportation system!

Was the train hand powered too?Well, it IS North Korea...

...and hand-powered rail cart. Just like James Bond and Tiffany Case in "Diamonds Are Forever".

—”350 miles as the crow flies from Pyonyang to the Russian border. 32 hours by train!?”
Still infinitely faster than the famous California HIGHSPEED RAIL.
Also the TCO and cost per ride way-way less.

Great transportation system!
My wife used to take the train from Chicago to Quincy Illinois a 300-mile drive.
About five hours on the schedule. Seldom on schedule.
One trip about 12 hours, the engine quit among other things...No heat in the winter too.
GO AMTRAK.

I rode the SooLine in Northern Wisconsin many years ago.
We were due to arrive at a station at 8:00AM we got there at
12:30PM THE NEXT DAY! Snow don’t ya know!
Riding a SooLine coach for 28 1/2 hours is a killer.
(Potty over flowed in our coach —— nice!)

I’ve heard of going to hell in a handcart, but not of leaving in the same fashion.
