Train tunnel to Lhasa
Originally uploaded by bastchild.
The train is supposed to be operational in a year-and-a-half. The Chinese are very proud of this railroad having been completed in the past month. The Swiss said it was impossible. The train cars are supposed to be pressurized, and the tracks are to be refrigerated to keep them from buckling in the changing temperatures. Just in time for the Olympics hordes to train from Beijing to Lhasa.
