1. Kim Jong-Un | March 24, 2018
When North Korean leaders go abroad, they often do so in an armored dark green train with yellow stripes. It is exactly that train that entered Beijing Railway Station on March 24, 2018 for a secret meeting with their counterpart in China.
It's said dat Kim Jong-un has ninety high-security coaches available. When he goes on a journey, three train sets are used. The first train transports the security team, then follows a train with the leader himself and the last one follows with supplies and extra security guards.
Because all coaches are bulletproof, the train is extremely heavy and thus can not run faster than 60-kilometers per hour.
2. The then Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands in the CityNightLine | April 16, 2010
In time for the appointment, H.M. the Queen, Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Máxima arrived on 16 April 2010 by Royal train at the central station of Copenhagen to attend the celebrations for the 70th birthday of the Danish Queen.
Where normally weeks of preparation precede a trip with the Royal train, this operation had to be realized in just a number of hours. The request to travel to Copenhagen by train came from the royal family as a result of the closure of the airspace due to the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
3. Royal family with the Alpen Express | February 15, 2013
The then Prince Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands left for Austria on Friday evening with his family by Royal train from Amsterdam Centraal. The Royal carriage was coupled in Utrecht to the so-called Alpen Express. This is a special night train that runs both towards Landeck and Bischofshofen for winter sports enthusiasts.
For the Royal family it is still about one hour drive from Landeck to the final destination Lech.
4. Queen of the United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms | February 7, 2018
One of the many times when the Queen chooses the train: "The 91-year-old looked excited when she boarded the train at King's Lynn station in Norfolk this afternoon, after spending the Christmas period at Sandringham House. Queen Elizabeth was dressed in a bright orange winter coat and a cheerful headscarf, in combination with black patent leather shoes and a black leather bag. The stylish coat was trimmed with a black hairy cuff. She was accompanied by a policeman who accompanied her during her 1 hour and 45-minute journey to the Kings Cross station in London."
5. Olympic team from London | August 13, 2012
