0:56 The phrase next to the tram means'My country is the best', but it doesn't look very good to the average person. It's a propaganda that feels really weird. One thing is certain, but it seems to be a classic but eco-friendly public transport. Under the influence of the Soviet Union, public transportation through power lines has long been sustained in North Korea. However, in sorth Korea, where I live, there are still many buses powered by natural gas or diesel, and Japanese-style tram in two large cities in Korea ran until the 60s, but they disappeared due to the rapid increase in cars. (Because it was influenced by American transportation culture) I can't see such a transportation in my country, so the traffic running along the wire hanging in the air looks very fresh and attractive! (Especially communist countries) In North Korea, although the vehicle is old, it seems to be trying to keep the exterior clean. I really like it!
Very clean old tram and bus trolly well maintained, a bit noisy but the fact is that they able to maintain and still has electrified wire. Less pollution. No advertising. No eyesore but feels lonely for a guy coming from fast changing world.
Please! Thats true. So other cities are also very interesting...in Chongjin i was some years ago...so i have now much pictures...so i filmed as this trip. :-)
This city has some kind of pleasant charm that is not found in other cities and countries, I do not know why, but I liked it. Maybe because 4-5-9 floors buildings and transport are similar to those that I have in the my city. And I also like the fact that there are few cars on the street, advertising, and in general there are few any equipment and there are trees, which is good for me. Nordkorea is really a unique country
It's amazing how mechanical and "real" it looks. Like you can see every moving part like some steampunk mashine. Not like the modern low floor trams in my city Kraków, Lesser Poland. I like those mechanical trams more though!

Grüße aus Russland! Wenn man sich ein Video aus Nordkorea ansieht, fällt sofort auf, dass Autos Fußgänger nicht passieren. In Russland ist das anders, obwohl es noch in den 1990er Jahren so war wie in Nordkorea.
Some more diligent maintenance and lubrication might help. Sparks on the line probably look nice in the dark. Doubt they're designed to tilt from side to side so much.
Diese leere auf den Strassen ist mein absoluter Traum. Kein einziges privates Auto ist zu sehen. Aber schön ist das Nord Korea das umgesetzt hat was für die ehemalige DDR geplant war. Der KT6. Ich weiß das er nicht von CKD gebaut wurde, aber die ähnlichkeit fällt schon auf😉😉
Also in Chongjin und der Nordprovinz traf dies damals noch zu, doch rund um die Hauptstadt sind private PKW schon stark im kommen gewesen. Der Gelenkwagen in Chongjin ist auch nur ein Einzelstück, ansonsten besteht der Fuhrpark aus Einzelwagen. Aber hübsch schaut das Wägelchen schon aus :)
Mittlerweile füllen sich die Straßen, vor einem Monat dort erst meinen ersten kleinen Stau erlebt... leider, wohl für uns. Die Koreaner selber freuen sich aber vermutlich, dass ein bisserl was voran geht. Wirklich private PKW sind aber meiner jüngsten Erfahrung nach auch in Pyeongyang nach wie vor glücklicherweise starke Mangelware...
Although being outdated their public transportation seems clean and fairly preserved different from my country Brazil where some regions have do deal with a public transportation in a pretty bad condition which the vehicles are very dirty ( with roaches enjoying the travel sometimes), unsafe, crowded and expensive for ordinary people. It's somehow ironic because most of them are runned by private companies so in "theory" we should have a reliable public transportation.
toma no cu maluco, tu ta comparando os onibus do brasil com essa merda aí, tu vive aonde? Acre? nosso estado(governo) é uma merda mas não chega a ser tanto
o problema é o corporativismo que rola entre o setor privado e o governo no brasil, principalmente nas prefeituras do rio, onde empresa de ônibus e prefeitura se beneficiam sem haver um livre mercado
Privatization rarely works. Simply put private companies always care about one thing first and foremost. That being profits. And if they can earn money they'll go to whatever tactics it takes. Once they get hold of a oublic service Contract, they're basically guaranteed funding with little government intervention, so they cam screw over the public as much as they want while still being bankrolled by the government and having a virtual monopoly. The best public transit is in most cases publicly owned and operated, or at least it is in countries with governments that aren't that corrupt or dysfunctional.
@@drdewott9154 yeah, i totally agree but unfortunately in my country there are some people who thinks that the only solution for all problems that our country faces it's the full privatization of all state owned companies.
@@juanferreiramoreira268 O corporativismo é uma das características inerentes do capitalismo, as democracias burguesas ("liberais") sempre serão estruturadas para beneficiar aqueles poucos que detém o capital e os meios de produção, por exemplo, fugindo do Brasil, temos os EUA, onde o governo tem um grande lobby com empresas armamentistas e seguradoras de saúde.
I’m jealous that you get to see so much of the DPRK. I’ve been fascinated with this country for a long time, and I hope to travel there some time. If only the US would improve relations with this country.
@@Mrthecrafter162 Nah they are just extremely disciplined, they are east asians, and east asians got the reputation of being extremly clean,just ask Japan and China, i don't think somebody watches you 24/7 because you will throw trash in the road, North Korea has 25+ million people and thats very hard to monitor 24/7 unless the govt has some weird vodoo magic, realistically speaking, you can't monitor everyone 24/7.

LOL, when Czech Tatra trams were used in the USSR, Polish cities had usually Soviet-made trams. And as far as I know those Soviet trams are still in service in PL, at least in some cities. Communism is really weird...
@@metsolainenpov8771 CKD Tatra Praha was fully busy producing trams for the Soviet Union, Germany, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Romania ... That's why some countries of the Socialist Bloc had to buy trams elsewhere, just in the USSR.
@@KT4Dani These are Tatras, just newer model than they have in Pyongyang: T3 in Pyongyang, T5 on this video. The reason why T3s in Pyongyang look better although they are older must be that they bought some upgraded and better maintained T3s. T5s were never as popular as T3s, so many cities got rid of them and kept upgrading T3s
How fascinating. Outside Pyongyang you don't see so many foreign cars, in fact very few cars at all. I must say those apartment blocks are nice and colourful. That truck 2:12 is a Futon?
The cars in Pyongyang grow last years very strange, but in provincial cities like Chongjin its now normal. But sometimes more than in last years. I think in some years its there like in Pyongyang and streets are full. The houses also in provicial cities get colours and some of them are startet to renovation last months. :-) Its nice to see how something is changed there in last 2-3 years to positive :-) . Yes, its a chinese Foton.
Wow, thank you for sharing. Sir, by the way, I would like to know how many stops are there on this tram line? I saw 3 stops on the internet but that looks strange for a 13-km-long line.
@@danielvojtik6331 ...thats NOT made there. T3, T4, T6 and KT8D5 in Pyongyang from Czechoslovakia, this trams in Chongjin were produced byself in local factory!
You see it right, the trolleybuslines are completely seperate and not connected now. Before 2012 there are a conection from citynetwork to southpart (along tramline). The part in north will be also connected in former years, some older pylons are stay there...but i dont know in what year it was cuted.
@@KT4Dani Thanks for that. It would seem to be an odd way to work what is a relatively small system. Presumably the vehicles can get back to the depot on their batteries or use a skate on the tramway? Birmingham was a bit like this as it had two isolated trolley routes linked by tram. Also Budapest has an isolated "mini" system. But I am frankly surprised that they have bothered with trams. As I would have had a trolley system. I know that a number of cities in the DPRK have trolleybuses and in all likelihood there will be more of them. I presume that most if not all of the vehicles are built locally. Do you have any idea who built the trams here. Looking at Alan Murray's book and various other sources it would appear that there are around 12-14 systems in the DPRK. I recall an article in Trolleybuses Magazine some years ago which mentioned some very curious "Private" (Industrial) systems with only one or two vehicles. Have you come across anything like this? As that would be sensational and extremely interesting. I have also heard that at least one mine (colliery?) uses trolley lorries in its operations. Trouble is that most regrettably you never see such things as they are well hidden from view! (I did see some trolley lorries in the DDR in the late 1970's) Part of the problem I fear is that in general people find our interests odd and they simply don't understand. Or worse they think that somehow we are mocking them. I remember visiting Yugoslavia and whilst in Belgrade I was shown all the time new JZ diesel locomotives! When I asked about steam they thought that I was mad and it was only after I gave them copies of postcards and magazines from the UK that they reluctantly showed me. One management person was quite embarrassed and I told him that I thought that steam was wonderful! He was clearly convinced that I need psychological help!
Trolleybusses stay over night also at endpoints/loops and dont go back to depot. If anything must repair, than they will pulled by truck to centraldepot (near tram). In smaller DPRK-trolleybuscompanies its still normal process, fortunately they dont have problems by vandalism/graffity. :-)
@@KT4Dani Thank you for that. It makes some sense. Whilst vandalism is not a problem in the DPRK the weather most certainly is! If I was the manager I would want to have the vehicles under cover over night during the winter. Do you know how many vehicles are used on each route? Also have y been able to visit any of the other locations that have trolleybuses? Thank you very much your efforts it has been very interesting watching.
Yes, thats true, i would like have also all vehicles at night in Depot under a roof. Its different at aeach line. so the Ranamroute in south was served by 4 vehicles, while the northroute have only one trolleybus. The centralroute have good intervall near all 10 minutes. yes, i visited more cities with transports there, but only to make pictures. videos i make only "by the way", when i have to much pictures :-)
This is what an eco friendly green city looks like. Almost no cars, lots of cyclists, trolleys made from recycled parts, minimalist lifestyle. All should follow the good example.
thank you for some other part of North Korea than capital city it reminds me some much my childhood in communism, all the details, the big ones same as the small ones, which you probably do not spot if you were not living in it like broken windows on trolleybus - shards carefully taped together years ago total lack of ads, some red banners from time to time ... everything feels so empty quite clean - but old and terribly worn out everything public - trams, buses, houses, factories, wires, streetlamps, pavements .... anyway kept repaired and working (because you do not have anything else anyway) a few cars, some of them rather new people clothing - dull, functional, comfy no fast food stands, a few shops, nothing distracting on street strange mix of calm & free (the one which is not present in capitalism) & alert & oversight & disregard - all together almost no haste all the small details that reminds you lots of stuff is unavailable or forbidden ... yet some odd kind of peacefullness I am surprised that roads are quite ok .... tram rails + wires + cars are in bad condition in this town, same trolleybuses I wonder if there might be some proper North Korean train video going through the country :) excellent job, keep up please
Please! But you see a lot of modernisations also outside of the capital. In Chongjin are grow also new houses...my video show the tramroute and some places of trolleybustracks, but not in citycentre. So this video is not ideal to show about Chongjin. In citycentre you have more life. But you are truely...its not like capital. But iam be very happy at my second visit there to see, that also there a lot of modernisations begann! :) ...not such big like here in europe, but step by step! :-)
@@dominikammonetzl2837 seems to me that there is something completly different in China for example - ads, attention, shops, new stuff, haste, money+money+money, competition and so on .... with lots of state-control.... more like capitalist-totalitarian-thing just guessing, maybe I am wrong
@sukubann China (PRC) is a communist state with a partially free market in that most "private" companies have state affiliations and the ads on public transport there help boost the sales of products that are sold by supposedly private companies such as phones made by Huawei or some electronic device sold through Alibaba or it could even be an advert telling people to report the police on someone for practising Falun Gong/Dafa so that the PLA (or some other government agency) can go to that person and imprison them and harvest their organs. the ads mainly exist to get the Chinese to spend more of their money because historically the Chinese have always saved up their cash and the Communist Party thinks that by getting people to spend more it will help stop their slowing economy.
@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials I meant the "state of mind" of China communism -> that it does not resembles communism from my childhood or DPRK communism at all China communism = something totally different than DPRK communism or former Czechoslovakia communism It seems to me that - it lacks of calmness, materian emptiness and everything else described above It is totalitarian capitalism to me, just named as communism Both of these political system (regardless how you name them) are not appealing to me at all (rather hideus)
These images bring back a lot of memories from my childhood in communist Romania, feelings of hopelessness, fear and wonder of what could be outside of our dark communist country. North Korea is on the other side of the planet but I have deep sympathy for all those millions of kind souls trapped there. I pray to God that one day they will be free!
I live in capitalist Russia and I see that the people of North Korea live in much better conditions than the Russians. The streets in the DPRK are clean, the transport runs properly, the houses are painted, there are no alcoholics lying on the streets. And this is despite the fact that Russia has the largest number of resources in the world, and North Korea does not have them. In addition, the DPRK is in General isolation under sanctions. If the DPRK had the same resources as Russia, people there would live as in Europe, and even better. This comparison shows us the superiority of socialism over capitalism.
@@Демократическо-социальнаяпарти Yeah, but the debate here is not socialism vs capitalism, it is communism (which these guys deviated from badly, like this shares almost nothing with Marx's original idea) vs a free society. And yeah, despite the disadvantages, I still prefer the free society because I have the choice to do whatever the fuck I want and still make a living though my own means. It is not about socialism vs capitalism, and for socialism, you can find way way way better examples, like a lot of countries in Western Europe, like Finland for e.g., where they have a good wellfare system, benefits, low rates of homelessness etc. That's successful socialism right there, not this idiotic authoritanian bullcrap that Kim and your Putin force you to go through. So yeah, you don't need an opresive regime to do good socialism, so all this communist nostalgia you have is for nothing really. Russian people have a higher chance to personal development today than they had in the USSR days.
@@Демократическо-социальнаяпарти Invite anyone from DPRK to join in this debate! Oh, there is no internet.. Why would that be? Ah, 30 years ago the wall fell. What a coincidence… ;-) And the drug abuse apparently is very high in DPRK, because there is no booze.
@@ДмитрийКастрановский беда? Нет, не беда, а тотальный пиздец. В России такое уже намного реже встречается, а в кап. странах так вообще почти не встречается. Стыки рельс на 2:30 и 2:45 повергают в первобытный ужас.

I have a suggestion. You shot a lot of stuff, and I loved it! But can you ever go to Evpatoria? There are three types of trams. And in General recently brought a new tram 71-411. If anything, I'll wait for new videos and Evpatoria.
I like your videos! keep it up like this man, appreciate it Also don't mind the comments about people complaining their mass transport vehicles look very old. They don't know what sanction is.
Nice to see something from the DPRK that isn't Pyongyang! A normal city, and hardly any cars here but plenty bicycles. (Not a bad thing at all!) Guess most cars you see in videos of the capital are on official business?
der zustand der gleise und oberleitungen sind ja grauenhaft..da warn ja die gleisanlagen in der ehmaligen DDR besser..erstaunlich das die bahnen nicht alle 500m entgleisen bei dem geschaukel..für die fahrzeuge auch nicht optimal ...das Material der bahnen hält bestimmt nicht lange bei der beanspruchung..
Wenn ich überlege, wie damals in Plauen die Neundorfer Straße gewesen ist, würde ich Deine Aussage nicht bestätigen! Die DDR-Betriebe litten nicht unter so knallharten Sanktionen, wie es Nordkorea macht...doch auch ohne Mittel machen sie dort das beste um den Leuten einen Nahverkehr anzubieten. Straßenbahnen sind mit den Drehgestellen weitaus flexibler auf diesen Gleisanlagen, als man vlt. vermuten mag. Die Fahrzeuge fahren inzwischen seit über 20 Jahren...und tun dies immernoch.
naja sanktionen hin oder her..wenn ich sehe wieviel kohle nordkorea für die aufrüstung ausgibt ...wäre das geld in die infrastruktur besser angelegt...grad in ländern wo es kaum autos gibt und die leute auf die Öffis angewiesen sind..ist ein reibungsloser schneller nahverkehr zwingend notwendig..dann sollte man lieber da investiern ..anstatt laufend das geld in projekte zu investiern die eh zum scheitern verurteilt sind..
@@stefanmaulbrich4036 Dass ein Verkehrsbetrieb und die Landesverteidigung zwei getrennte Finanzierungstöpfe sind, ist wohl bekannt? Welche Projekte sind denn Ihrer Meinung nach gescheitert?
Normalerweise sieht man das bei Straßenbahnbetrieben in sehr armen Ländern, in denen das Geld für die Instandhaltung der Fahrleitung fehlt und wo es deshalb viele Stellen in der Fahrleitung gibt, an denen der Stromabnehmer abgleiten oder einhaken würde. Die Fahrerinnen und Fahrer kennen natürlich jede dieser Stellen und ziehen davor den Bügel ab. In diesem Fall dürfte es aber eher zur Schonung des Schleifstücks und der Fahrleitung sein, denn ich glaube, dass der Fahrdraht in Chongjin nicht aus weichem und gut leitendem Kupfer, sondern ein billiger Eisendraht ist. Wahrscheinlich zurückzuführen auf Materialmangel. Meine Vermutung begründet sich am Funken und an der Form - bei genauerem Hinsehen ist zu erkennen, dass der Fahrdraht etwas gewellt bzw. wellenförmig verbogen ist. Ein weicher Kupferdraht nimmt so eine Form nicht an, der wird von der Schwerkraft immer schön geradegezogen. Und da ein Eisendraht schlechter leitet, anrostet und nicht die Struktur eines Fahrdrahts hat, kommt es ständig zu Funkenbildung, die wiederum auf Dauer das Schleifstück des Stromabnehmers beschädigt (ich vermute, dass es dort auch keine Kohleschleifstücke gibt, weil die bei einem harten Eisendraht sofort abgenutzt wären; früher hat man als billige Alternative Aluminium verwendet, vielleicht ist das auch dort so). Außerdem geht dabei eine Menge Energie verloren. Aufgrund all dessen ziehen die Fahrerinnen und Fahrer immer nur möglichst kurz Strom, wenn es unvermeidbar ist. Vielleicht liege ich aber auch falsch und tatsächliche Experten falsifizieren meinen Rant gleich. :)
@@strassenbahntk das Problem liegt nicht an Draht, sondern an ganze System dessen Aufhängung. Da ist kein Spannung drauf. Und er hängt nicht in Zig-Zag, sondern gerade aus. Beide Fehler sind quasi fatal für Kohlen- Graphit Stück am Stromabnehmer- er wird sehr schnell an einer Stelle abgenutzt. Bei Zig -zag verlegten, richtig gespannten Fahrdraht passiert so was nicht - da nutzt sich Stromabnehmer gleichmäßig ab und daher ist langlebiger.
@@ZugnachPankowIch habe die G1-Züge während meinen ersten Reisen noch im Betrieb auf der Metro Pjöngjang gesehen (1999/2000), desweiteren habe ich die umgebauten G1-Wagen öfter bei meinen Reisen auf den "Bummelzugstrecken" der Provinzen im Einsatz gesehen. Das Filmen der Züge wurde mir bei den Reisen vielfach von den Reiseführern untersagt, ich konnte letztes Jahr allerdings einen umgebauten DK4 (Die ursprünglichen Fahrzeuge der Metro Pjöngjang) im Einsatz filmen. Die G1-Züge verkehren anscheinend nur Vormittags und Abends als Pendlerzüge, von Zwei- bis Sechs-Wagen-Zügen in den unterschiedlichsten Farben und Formen. Viele G1-Wagen haben mittlerweile komplett andere Wagenfronten bzw. Führerstände. Die Wagen fahren interessanter Weise teilweise mit öffenen Türen, da lassen manche Passagiere sogar die Beine raushängen. Mir ist dabei auch aufgefallen, dass in den umgebauten "Umformer-Triebwagen" sogar Fahrgäste mitfahren, obwohl dort wegen des eingebauten Umformers (scheinbar) kaum Platz ist.

What's the purpose of the contraption on the top of the trolleybus at 06:10 ?
It's most likely a tehnical/maintenance trolleybus.
The platform is for repairing/checking the wires.
First comment! Good to see trams & trolleybuses from another NK city!
;)
Chongjing had really changed a lot since 90-s. Looks like there's even no more crisis.
It was my second trip there after 2015. a lot of things are changed to positive :-)
Auf diese Video habe ich gewartet. SUper! :-)
Na dann, hat sich das warten doch gelohnt? :-)
Some more diligent maintenance and lubrication might help. Sparks on the line probably look nice in the dark. Doubt they're designed to tilt from side to side so much.
Diese leere auf den Strassen ist mein absoluter Traum. Kein einziges privates Auto ist zu sehen. Aber schön ist das Nord Korea das umgesetzt hat was für die ehemalige DDR geplant war. Der KT6. Ich weiß das er nicht von CKD gebaut wurde, aber die ähnlichkeit fällt schon auf😉😉
Also in Chongjin und der Nordprovinz traf dies damals noch zu, doch rund um die Hauptstadt sind private PKW schon stark im kommen gewesen. Der Gelenkwagen in Chongjin ist auch nur ein Einzelstück, ansonsten besteht der Fuhrpark aus Einzelwagen. Aber hübsch schaut das Wägelchen schon aus :)
Mittlerweile füllen sich die Straßen, vor einem Monat dort erst meinen ersten kleinen Stau erlebt... leider, wohl für uns. Die Koreaner selber freuen sich aber vermutlich, dass ein bisserl was voran geht. Wirklich private PKW sind aber meiner jüngsten Erfahrung nach auch in Pyeongyang nach wie vor glücklicherweise starke Mangelware...

Although being outdated their public transportation seems clean and fairly preserved different from my country Brazil where some regions have do deal with a public transportation in a pretty bad condition which the vehicles are very dirty ( with roaches enjoying the travel sometimes), unsafe, crowded and expensive for ordinary people. It's somehow ironic because most of them are runned by private companies so in "theory" we should have a reliable public transportation.
toma no cu maluco, tu ta comparando os onibus do brasil com essa merda aí, tu vive aonde? Acre? nosso estado(governo) é uma merda mas não chega a ser tanto
o problema é o corporativismo que rola entre o setor privado e o governo no brasil, principalmente nas prefeituras do rio, onde empresa de ônibus e prefeitura se beneficiam sem haver um livre mercado
Privatization rarely works. Simply put private companies always care about one thing first and foremost. That being profits. And if they can earn money they'll go to whatever tactics it takes. Once they get hold of a oublic service Contract, they're basically guaranteed funding with little government intervention, so they cam screw over the public as much as they want while still being bankrolled by the government and having a virtual monopoly.
The best public transit is in most cases publicly owned and operated, or at least it is in countries with governments that aren't that corrupt or dysfunctional.
@@drdewott9154 yeah, i totally agree but unfortunately in my country there are some people who thinks that the only solution for all problems that our country faces it's the full privatization of all state owned companies.

Czechs have conquered the whole eastern block with it trams and just glad to see Tatras in North Korea.
In Chongjin no Tatras are running! For Tatras you must look to Pyongyang: ruclips.net/video/wBH7u8n1Rek/видео.html
This is some local mutant of Tatras. In these countries they liked to imitate such products
LOL, when Czech Tatra trams were used in the USSR, Polish cities had usually Soviet-made trams. And as far as I know those Soviet trams are still in service in PL, at least in some cities. Communism is really weird...
@@metsolainenpov8771 CKD Tatra Praha was fully busy producing trams for the Soviet Union, Germany, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Romania ... That's why some countries of the Socialist Bloc had to buy trams elsewhere, just in the USSR.
@@KT4Dani These are Tatras, just newer model than they have in Pyongyang: T3 in Pyongyang, T5 on this video. The reason why T3s in Pyongyang look better although they are older must be that they bought some upgraded and better maintained T3s. T5s were never as popular as T3s, so many cities got rid of them and kept upgrading T3s
How fascinating. Outside Pyongyang you don't see so many foreign cars, in fact very few cars at all. I must say those apartment blocks are nice and colourful. That truck 2:12 is a Futon?
The cars in Pyongyang grow last years very strange, but in provincial cities like Chongjin its now normal. But sometimes more than in last years. I think in some years its there like in Pyongyang and streets are full. The houses also in provicial cities get colours and some of them are startet to renovation last months. :-) Its nice to see how something is changed there in last 2-3 years to positive :-) .

Wow. I was thinking that only Pyongyang have trolleybuses and trams... :D Unbelievable! :o
In Chongjin exist the second public tramsystem in DPRK. A lot of more trolleybusses are in whole country. :-)
I noticed from the map that there appeared to be three completely separate trolleybus routes. Is that the case or is it a single system?
You see it right, the trolleybuslines are completely seperate and not connected now. Before 2012 there are a conection from citynetwork to southpart (along tramline). The part in north will be also connected in former years, some older pylons are stay there...but i dont know in what year it was cuted.
@@KT4Dani Thanks for that. It would seem to be an odd way to work what is a relatively small system. Presumably the vehicles can get back to the depot on their batteries or use a skate on the tramway? Birmingham was a bit like this as it had two isolated trolley routes linked by tram. Also Budapest has an isolated "mini" system.
But I am frankly surprised that they have bothered with trams. As I would have had a trolley system.
I know that a number of cities in the DPRK have trolleybuses and in all likelihood there will be more of them. I presume that most if not all of the vehicles are built locally.
Do you have any idea who built the trams here.
Looking at Alan Murray's book and various other sources it would appear that there are around 12-14 systems in the DPRK. I recall an article in Trolleybuses Magazine some years ago which mentioned some very curious "Private" (Industrial) systems with only one or two vehicles. Have you come across anything like this?
As that would be sensational and extremely interesting.
I have also heard that at least one mine (colliery?) uses trolley lorries in its operations. Trouble is that most regrettably you never see such things as they are well hidden from view! (I did see some trolley lorries in the DDR in the late 1970's) Part of the problem I fear is that in general people find our interests odd and they simply don't understand. Or worse they think that somehow we are mocking them.
I remember visiting Yugoslavia and whilst in Belgrade I was shown all the time new JZ diesel locomotives!
When I asked about steam they thought that I was mad and it was only after I gave them copies of postcards and magazines from the UK that they reluctantly showed me.
One management person was quite embarrassed and I told him that I thought that steam was wonderful!
He was clearly convinced that I need psychological help!
Trolleybusses stay over night also at endpoints/loops and dont go back to depot. If anything must repair, than they will pulled by truck to centraldepot (near tram). In smaller DPRK-trolleybuscompanies its still normal process, fortunately they dont have problems by vandalism/graffity. :-)
@@KT4Dani Thank you for that. It makes some sense. Whilst vandalism is not a problem in the DPRK the weather most certainly is! If I was the manager I would want to have the vehicles under cover over night during the winter. Do you know how many vehicles are used on each route? Also have y been able to visit any of the other locations that have trolleybuses? Thank you very much your efforts it has been very interesting watching.
Yes, thats true, i would like have also all vehicles at night in Depot under a roof. Its different at aeach line. so the Ranamroute in south was served by 4 vehicles, while the northroute have only one trolleybus. The centralroute have good intervall near all 10 minutes. yes, i visited more cities with transports there, but only to make pictures. videos i make only "by the way", when i have to much pictures :-)

This is what an eco friendly green city looks like. Almost no cars, lots of cyclists, trolleys made from recycled parts, minimalist lifestyle. All should follow the good example.
The streets are way too wide.
So poor is the new minimalism ok
Can't afford cars, so lots of bikes. Recycled buses because they have too. It's not a green thing.
If being poor is environmentalism then I guess that you’ve never heard of the Kuznets Curve
thank you for some other part of North Korea than capital city
it reminds me some much my childhood in communism, all the details, the big ones same as the small ones, which you probably do not spot if you were not living in it
like broken windows on trolleybus - shards carefully taped together years ago
total lack of ads, some red banners from time to time ... everything feels so empty
quite clean - but old and terribly worn out everything public - trams, buses, houses, factories, wires, streetlamps, pavements .... anyway kept repaired and working (because you do not have anything else anyway)
a few cars, some of them rather new
people clothing - dull, functional, comfy
no fast food stands, a few shops, nothing distracting on street
strange mix of calm & free (the one which is not present in capitalism) & alert & oversight & disregard - all together
almost no haste
all the small details that reminds you lots of stuff is unavailable or forbidden ... yet some odd kind of peacefullness
I am surprised that roads are quite ok .... tram rails + wires + cars are in bad condition in this town, same trolleybuses
I wonder if there might be some proper North Korean train video going through the country :)
excellent job, keep up please
sukubann beautiful description. Gave me an idea of what it was like living in communism, while never having lived in it myself
Please! But you see a lot of modernisations also outside of the capital. In Chongjin are grow also new houses...my video show the tramroute and some places of trolleybustracks, but not in citycentre. So this video is not ideal to show about Chongjin. In citycentre you have more life. But you are truely...its not like capital. But iam be very happy at my second visit there to see, that also there a lot of modernisations begann! :) ...not such big like here in europe, but step by step! :-)
@@dominikammonetzl2837 seems to me that there is something completly different in China for example - ads, attention, shops, new stuff, haste, money+money+money, competition and so on .... with lots of state-control.... more like capitalist-totalitarian-thing
just guessing, maybe I am wrong
@sukubann China (PRC) is a communist state with a partially free market in that most "private" companies have state affiliations and the ads on public transport there help boost the sales of products that are sold by supposedly private companies such as phones made by Huawei or some electronic device sold through Alibaba or it could even be an advert telling people to report the police on someone for practising Falun Gong/Dafa so that the PLA (or some other government agency) can go to that person and imprison them and harvest their organs. the ads mainly exist to get the Chinese to spend more of their money because historically the Chinese have always saved up their cash and the Communist Party thinks that by getting people to spend more it will help stop their slowing economy.
@@wclifton968gameplaystutorials I meant the "state of mind" of China communism -> that it does not resembles communism from my childhood or DPRK communism at all
China communism = something totally different than DPRK communism or former Czechoslovakia communism
It seems to me that - it lacks of calmness, materian emptiness and everything else described above
It is totalitarian capitalism to me, just named as communism
Both of these political system (regardless how you name them) are not appealing to me at all (rather hideus)

Please, its the most unknown tram at world :)
@@KT4Dani Exactly that is interesting, as well as view of city, especially no reclam, no crowd, many bicycles, rarely transport and people is pleasure
These images bring back a lot of memories from my childhood in communist Romania, feelings of hopelessness, fear and wonder of what could be outside of our dark communist country. North Korea is on the other side of the planet but I have deep sympathy for all those millions of kind souls trapped there. I pray to God that one day they will be free!
I live in capitalist Russia and I see that the people of North Korea live in much better conditions than the Russians. The streets in the DPRK are clean, the transport runs properly, the houses are painted, there are no alcoholics lying on the streets. And this is despite the fact that Russia has the largest number of resources in the world, and North Korea does not have them. In addition, the DPRK is in General isolation under sanctions.
If the DPRK had the same resources as Russia, people there would live as in Europe, and even better. This comparison shows us the superiority of socialism over capitalism.
@@Демократическо-социальнаяпарти Yeah, but the debate here is not socialism vs capitalism, it is communism (which these guys deviated from badly, like this shares almost nothing with Marx's original idea) vs a free society. And yeah, despite the disadvantages, I still prefer the free society because I have the choice to do whatever the fuck I want and still make a living though my own means. It is not about socialism vs capitalism, and for socialism, you can find way way way better examples, like a lot of countries in Western Europe, like Finland for e.g., where they have a good wellfare system, benefits, low rates of homelessness etc. That's successful socialism right there, not this idiotic authoritanian bullcrap that Kim and your Putin force you to go through. So yeah, you don't need an opresive regime to do good socialism, so all this communist nostalgia you have is for nothing really. Russian people have a higher chance to personal development today than they had in the USSR days.
@@Демократическо-социальнаяпарти Invite anyone from DPRK to join in this debate! Oh, there is no internet.. Why would that be? Ah, 30 years ago the wall fell. What a coincidence… ;-) And the drug abuse apparently is very high in DPRK, because there is no booze.

Wieso nehmen die Straßenbahnen spontan die Pantographen von der Oberleitung? Ist das zum schonen der Bremsen, damit das fahrzeug ausrollt?
Normalerweise sieht man das bei Straßenbahnbetrieben in sehr armen Ländern, in denen das Geld für die Instandhaltung der Fahrleitung fehlt und wo es deshalb viele Stellen in der Fahrleitung gibt, an denen der Stromabnehmer abgleiten oder einhaken würde. Die Fahrerinnen und Fahrer kennen natürlich jede dieser Stellen und ziehen davor den Bügel ab. In diesem Fall dürfte es aber eher zur Schonung des Schleifstücks und der Fahrleitung sein, denn ich glaube, dass der Fahrdraht in Chongjin nicht aus weichem und gut leitendem Kupfer, sondern ein billiger Eisendraht ist. Wahrscheinlich zurückzuführen auf Materialmangel. Meine Vermutung begründet sich am Funken und an der Form - bei genauerem Hinsehen ist zu erkennen, dass der Fahrdraht etwas gewellt bzw. wellenförmig verbogen ist. Ein weicher Kupferdraht nimmt so eine Form nicht an, der wird von der Schwerkraft immer schön geradegezogen. Und da ein Eisendraht schlechter leitet, anrostet und nicht die Struktur eines Fahrdrahts hat, kommt es ständig zu Funkenbildung, die wiederum auf Dauer das Schleifstück des Stromabnehmers beschädigt (ich vermute, dass es dort auch keine Kohleschleifstücke gibt, weil die bei einem harten Eisendraht sofort abgenutzt wären; früher hat man als billige Alternative Aluminium verwendet, vielleicht ist das auch dort so). Außerdem geht dabei eine Menge Energie verloren.
Aufgrund all dessen ziehen die Fahrerinnen und Fahrer immer nur möglichst kurz Strom, wenn es unvermeidbar ist.
Vielleicht liege ich aber auch falsch und tatsächliche Experten falsifizieren meinen Rant gleich. :)
@@strassenbahntk das Problem liegt nicht an Draht, sondern an ganze System dessen Aufhängung. Da ist kein Spannung drauf. Und er hängt nicht in Zig-Zag, sondern gerade aus. Beide Fehler sind quasi fatal für Kohlen- Graphit Stück am Stromabnehmer- er wird sehr schnell an einer Stelle abgenutzt. Bei Zig -zag verlegten, richtig gespannten Fahrdraht passiert so was nicht - da nutzt sich Stromabnehmer gleichmäßig ab und daher ist langlebiger.
