WikiProject Echo has identified Pyongyang Metro as a foreign language featured article. You may be able to improve this article with information from the Serbo-Croatian language Wikipedia.

This is the first full article I wrote on the English wikipedia (a translation of the Dutch article I wrote about this topic). I hope I didn't make too many mistakes in translating the article. If I did, please tell me and I will refrain from writing articles in the English Wikipedia in the future. ;-) Regards, David Eerdmans 21:11, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Are the metro Rolling stocks coming from Berlin U-Bahn or S-Bahn? I am not sure, but it looks more the size of S-Bahn, U-Bahn being a much lighter metro system (and also because the S-Bahn was east-German and this photo looks very much like Russian metro cars). Lachambre 20:36, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

The train in the photo ("Dora" type) is "large profile" stock from the West Berlin U-Bahn. It was acquired second-hand from the reunified U-Bahn during the 1990s. The Pyongyang metro originally had Chinese-built trains (which, for political reasons, the North Korean government claimed were made domestically). PyongyangMetro.com has all the details of the rolling stock. GagHalfrunt 00:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mass Transit Railway

Can anyone find a source for the official name being Pyongyang Mass Transit Railway? There is an official guidebook which quite clearly names it as the Pyongyang Metro. GagHalfrunt 00:03, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

It's not, and the Korean quite clearly says 지하철, which means "subway" or "metro". I'm reverting the move. Jpatokal 04:47, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
