The only leader of a nation that I'm aware of who uses rail travel to get around on a regular basis is Kim Jong Un of North Korea.In England a special train has been maintained in the recent past for the use of the Royal Family. There were also 'Royal Trains' for Tito in Yugoslavia, and a somewhat similar train in Australia.Recently there was a funeral train for the late President George HW Bush.Does anyone know of other examples of heads of state that use rail to get around?The biggest obstacles to such a train in the USA is the immense need for security, and the lack of rail infrastructure [other than the NEC] to transport our leader.
