There are believed to be at least 90 high-security carriages at the leader’s disposal, according to a 2009 South Korea news report that relied on classified information. According to the report, written during the era of Mr. Kim’s father, Kim Jong-il, three trains operate each time the leader travels: an advance security train, the leader’s train and a third carrying additional bodyguards and supplies.

There's also an excellent Wikipedia article on Korean State Railways.

Looks remarkably like a China Rail DF11z to me

.Given its unlikely Korean drivers would be able to drive in China and Chinese crew be passed on Korean locos I wouls expect a loco change at the border.

The carriages seen on TV did not look like standard Chinese.
