North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il has gone back to basics with six special luxury trains at his disposal to travel around North Korea. Not that Kim Jong-Il is an old-fashioned dictator living in the golden age of rail but the tough guy is said to have a fear of flying. The six trains with a total of 90 armored carriages are equipped with reception halls, conference rooms, bedrooms and hi-tech communication facilities like satellite phone connections along with flat-screen TVs, so the leader can be briefed and issue orders. Moving at a poky speed of 37mph, it seems like it’s luxury lacking technology.
