The Russian families spent a total of 32 hours this week on North Korea’s outdated rail system, followed by a two-hour bus ride closer to the border. ADVERTISEMENT From there, the Russians used a manual railcar loaded with their children and luggage across the final 0.6 miles that separates their country from North Korea. Video and pictures of the families showed them manually pushing the car from behind as they crossed over the border Thursday.
