All aboard for Vladivostok: Kim follows in father's tracks.

Waving and smiling, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un boarded one of his signature olive-green trains early Wednesday, following in his father's tracks to head for Vladivostok and a summit with Vladimir Putin.

The North Korean leader's affinity for rail travel is a trait shared by his predecessors, his father Kim Jong Il and grandfather Kim Il Sung. The carriages used by Kim Jong Il -- a Macintosh computer on his desk -- and his own father and predecessor, the North's founder Kim Il Sung, are now on display at the Kumsusan Memorial Palace in Pyongyang, where both late leaders' bodies lie in state.
