Chinese passenger train crosses into North Korea for first time in 6 years

Social media footage shows a locomotive pulling seven cars into North Korea’s Sinuiju

A Chinese passenger train on Thursday traveled from China’s Dandong into Sinuiju in North Korea for the first time in six years, videos circulating on Chinese social media show, marking the resumption of the service between the two countries since the strict border closures of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The train’s departure came a day after China Railway announced the revival of business-related passenger services between the two countries on Wednesday.
