In 2009 alone, he gave field guidance at more than 200 units without letup. The distance he traveled in the year for guidance is equal to the one he had done by train for ten years.
He made the ceaseless train forced march in the period from January to December 2011, the last year of his revolutionary career. The units of his field guidance in the period included a modern glass bottle factory and other industrial establishments and fruit farms, fish farms, parks and pleasure grounds. On December 16, 2011, he took a measure to supply fish to Pyongyang citizens and got on the train for the people at night.
He regarded his train as his office room and lodging quarters and gave the nonstop field guidance for the people, using the train 1 647 times in his lifetime. The distance he traveled on the train is more than 398 000 km.
