As the world's last Stalinist Big Brother state which shuts its people away from other countries and indoctrinates them instead in aggression against South Korea, Japan and America, North Korea attracts a lot of attention nowadays.
The pic is from this blog of a guy who travelled by train the 13,000 km from Vienna to Pyongyang: adventurous in itself, but the most unusual part was through the land of "The Dear Leader" Kim Jong-Il.
North Korea has a network of 5,200 km track with 4,500 km in standard gauge. There is a small narrow gauge railway in operation in Haeju peninsula. Approximately two thirds of the system is electrified (3 kV DC).
