His train will not stop for anything. So they have to stop and reschedule all others. Probably resulting in mistakes and stuff like this.

"In another sign of the accident's magnitude, the secretive North Korean government cut international phone lines to prevent news of the collision from leaking across its borders, Yonhap said, citing no sources. "
Why would they do this? Political?

Communist countries always do this. Maybe because they don't like giving ANY information to the free world because they're afraid someone will use if for something else.
USSR has done this in a couple situations. Chernobal - The melt down of their nuclear power plant, they didn't acknowledge it for a while. When one of their nuclear subs sank (don't remember exactly when this was), they let the sailors on board sufficate instead of asking for outside help (ie. acknowledging what had happened) which would have saved the sailors lives. I'm sure all countries "hide" information like this to some degree, but communist/dictatorships seem to be more paraniod about it.
