North Korean leader Kim Jong Un traveled to eastern Russia this week for his first-ever visit to the country and meeting with President Vladimir Putin.
While some of his delegation flew from North Korea to Vladivostok, where the two leaders will meet, Kim opted to travel hundreds of miles in his family's armored train instead.
He often takes it to travel abroad — in March, he took a laborious, two-day-long train ride through eastern and southern China to get from Pyongyang to Hanoi, Vietnam, to meet US President Donald Trump.
Not much is known about the Kim family train, a 21-carriage, khaki green train with a distinctive yellow line running across it.
But previous accounts and footage show it to be filled with imported French wine, Apple computers, and plush leather seats. Photos from North Korean state media also provide a rare look inside the unusual vehicle.
Take a look inside:
North Korean media on Wednesday aired footage of Kim waving goodbye to army officials and civilians before boarding the train.
While most of Kim's foreign trips are kept secret, it's easy to know when he's out of the country due to the distinctive green train.
Kim has used the train to travel to China and Vietnam before.
The North Korean leader used the family train to travel to China on his birthday in January 2019, and in March 2018. He also took it to Vietnam to meet Trump earlier this year.
When Kim's father, Kim Jong Il, used the train, officials would shut down power to other lines so nobody could get in his way.
