(CNN) Most world leaders visiting other countries make a grand entrance by stepping off a large jet. For North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, it's a slow-chugging train that looks like something from a bygone era. Kim Jong Un, center, and his wife, Ri Sol Ju, center right, are greeted by Chinese officials in Beijing. Few details of the train's current state are known, but the string of dark green carriages adorned with yellow stripes suggest it's the same one used both by his grandfather, Kim Il Sung, and his father, Kim Jong Il, who reportedly threw lavish dinners aboard. Satellite phone connections and flat screen TVs have been installed so that the North Korean leader can be briefed and issue orders," the paper reported at the time.
