Pyongyang Metro Museum
The Pyongyang Metro features its own museum, primarily dedicated to President Kim Il Sung's involvement in providing 'on-the-spot guidance' during the system's construction. The collection showcases unique items, including a specialized funicular-like vehicle that the president used to descend into a station under construction, traveling down the inclined tunnels later used for escalators. Additionally, on display is a railbus that he used to tour the metro system. The museum also houses a map detailing the planned metro lines, highlighting the convergence of the Chollima and Hyoksin lines at a common station near Chilgol, the third line's path across the Taedong River, ultimately ending near Rakrang. The map also pinpoints the depot locations, one located well past the western terminus of the Hyoksin line and another in Sopo for the Chollima line.
