This video shows a map of the development of North Korea's railway lines through history and up to the present day along with some narration explaining the developments.

The DPRK's Railway Network encompasses over 4700km of track crisscrossing the northern half of the Korean peninsula. Many of the lines were originally built by the Japanese during the 1910-45 Japanese occupation.

My mom bought this random from a sale at the library for a buck. As it turns out, it's a Marxist work, at least it seems like it. Started off in the Foreword quoting Marx, and talks of the bourgeoisie pushing for railway due to the Corn Tax and efficiency. And now there's a Railroad community. all in like 3 days what's the odds? Just wanted to share, the book's pretty good so far.

The China-Laos Railway is a key project under the Belt and Road Initiative. It's also a landmark in bilateral cooperation and a symbol of friendship between the two countries. As of June, it is estimated to have transported well over 3 million passengers within China and Laos and around 4 million tonnes of freight. Let's witness how the China-Laos Railway has changed the lives of the people living along it.
