North Korean state outlet DPRK Today on Saturday reported the launch of the first North Korean-made subway car, which made its symbolic run on the rails of the Pyongyang underground.

North Korea’s state-made subways project started last year, when national leader Kim Jong Un visited Kim Jong Tae electric locomotive factory in July.

“(The train cars) are looking … very snazzy. LCD screens, bright lights … it’s really bizarre seeing it. Looks so out of place with the chandeliers, mosaics … and even the train staff wear the same old Soviet-styled uniform,” Rowan Beard of Young Pioneer Tours told NK News.
