How Kim Jong Un's Armored Train Actually Works


Listen Later

Ever wonder how a dictator travels when literally everyone wants him dead? In this episode, Daniel Torres breaks down Kim Jong Un's armored train - a 21-car moving fortress that's equal parts paranoia and engineering marvel.
On Proof Positive, we explore how this bulletproof beast crawls across North Korea at just 37 mph, turning what should be a quick trip into a 20-hour security operation. You'll learn why they shut down entire railways and run decoy trains, discover which car houses Kim's Mercedes, and find out how his father racked up 24,000 kilometers of train travel during his rule. It's a wild look at how extreme isolation shapes everything - even how you get from point A to point B.
