The 39-year-old North Korean dictator inherited the tank locomotive from his father, former dictator Kim Jong Il.

The leader is preparing to arrive in style in eastern Russia, where he will reportedly speak with tyrant Vlad about supplying weapons to support Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, U.S. officials said earlier this week.
The two despots will reportedly discuss the possibility that Kim could supply Moscow with the fearsome arsenal at an undisclosed location.
But Kim has reportedly made plans to take his legendary “amusement train” to Putin’s crucial summit.
The mysterious dark green train with yellow piping consists of 21 carriages and features tinted windows to disguise the identities of the passengers on board the machine.
Each carriage is completely bulletproof, making the train thousands of pounds heavier and slower than average.
The train is estimated to reach a top speed of just 60 km/h, giving North Korea’s leader and his guests even more time to take in the sights of its version of the Orient Express.
The striking train will also be stocked with imported vintage wines and will cater for any cuisine Kim desires.
Swiss-educated Kim is said to have a particular fondness for Swiss cheese, Cristal champagne and Hennessy cognac.
Aboard the crazy train, you can enjoy fresh grilled lobster and pork with silver chopsticks while washing down your sumptuous meal with premium wines and spirits.
Kim reportedly insisted that live lobsters and other fresh delicacies be delivered to the train that passed through Siberia on trips to Russia.
The Beast has a lounge with pink leather sofas, a modern conference room and an office with satellite television, as well as a galley where you can prepare the best meals.
And it is said to be full of beautiful “conductors” – from the ranks of Kim’s hand-picked “Pleasure Brigade”.
The Tyrant’s train, also known as his “pleasure train,” reportedly hosts parties where the leader is said to be surrounded by “tall and beautiful maidens.”
Kim and his guests are serenaded by the “conductors” as they serve food and entertain the passengers on board.
The women on the train are supposed to be examined by a doctor before joining Kim’s “brigade” to check whether they are still virgins.
If accepted, they will be paid £1,400 – a huge sum in North Korea – before becoming part of the force called “Gippeumjo”, it is said.
In 2019, Kim embarked on an epic 3,000-mile journey to Vietnam in his luxurious ride to his groundbreaking second summit with Donald Trump.
He was seen on state television inspecting a guard of honor at the Pyongyang train station before waving from the doors of the green train.
The stunning machine was then seen crossing the Chinese border town of Dandong on the big journey to Hanoi.
Kim Jong-un’s father, Kim Jong-il, is said to hate flying and used a very similar armored train to transport him around North Korea and on state visits to China, Russia and Eastern Europe.
Kim Jong-il was known for his lavish taste and appetite for lavish banquets, wild parties and karaoke.
A Russian official who traveled to Moscow with Kim Jong-il in 2001 said the train was full of cases of Bordeaux and Beaujolais flown in from Paris.
But despite its glitz and glamour, the train has historically been at the center of several events in modern North Korea.
According to the New York TimesIn April 2004, more than 160 people were killed in Ryongchon, near the Chinese border, when explosives-laden trains exploded following a collision or an electrical fault.
Rumors at the time said the explosion was part of an assassination attempt on Kim Jong-il, as the train had passed through the city just two hours earlier.
According to state news media, the former tyrant leader later died aboard the train after a heart attack in December 2011.
