North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is expected to depart Pyongyang for Beijing on Monday aboard his special armored train to attend China's large-scale military parade later this week, sources said Sunday.
The government sources suggested Kim may have to leave as early as Monday to reach Beijing by Tuesday, given the train's travel time of up to 24 hours.

Observers predict Kim is more likely to use his forest-green train than "Chammae-1," the private plane Kim reportedly used for long-distance domestic trips in his early years in office, due to the plane's old age.
Kim has visited China four times before. He traveled by train during his first and fourth visits in March 2018 and January 2019, while using his private jet during his visits in May and June 2018.
For his forthcoming visit, he may cross the North Korea-China border Monday night aboard the train and stay at Beijing's Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, where he lodged during three of his previous four visits, observers also predicted.
The military parade will mark Kim's first appearance on the multilateral diplomatic stage, setting the stage for a possible three-way summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese President Xi Jinping.

He can do that crossing on foot
His train has his personal toilet. Reportedly Kim doesn’t want anyone stealing his poop which could provide clues about his health.
Kim still gets treated like “the unwanted, junk yard Dawg-Cousin” by his benefactors the Chinese.
It wouldn’t be a speck of lint in their fiscal pockets to manufacture and bestow Kim with a new, updated plane.
Yet, he is forced to Side Car Willie his way across the border for a meeting. The moment Kim is seen by China as not being a useful tool to the People’s Republic of China, he will be replaced and/ or “made absent and unavailable”.
Hard to feel sorry for them. The Brits have been voting for patriot-hating socialists for generations.
A train, how humiliating.
I would think a train would be most vulnerable to attack due to its predictable path.
It’s interesting that rocket man doesn’t trust air travel.
He has to go by train cause the entire country of N.Korea is to broke to fly his butt anywhere.
