caption_attribution_description: English: K27 leaving for Pyongyang in rain. Have you got a feeling of Sanmao livery? Yes, the North Koreans painted their railcars (derived from CR 25G) into a livery like 25T, but it resembles the livery of Sanshui-Maoming Railway (“三茂铁路”, currently part of Guangzhou–Maoming Railway) coaches! The Korean character above the car number is "일반침대" (Ilbanchimdae /一般寢臺), equivalent to "hard sleeper" (YW).
context_page_description: Rail transport in North Korea is provided by Korean State Railway which is the only rail operator in North Korea. It has a network of over 6,000 km of track, of which the vast majority is standard gauge; there is, however, nearly 400 km of narrow-gauge lines in various locations around the country.
