World miracle:Running on the roof of the worldQinghai–Tibet railway

[xizhimen]

the west blasts China on this railway saying that this railway would bring destruction to the unique Tibetan culture,Tibetans should preserve their way of life and not be influenced by the outside world.and China says this railway would bring wealth,opportunity and prosperity to Tibet and the Tibetan people.

We in BD have welcomed this epic engineering feat of China because of the military value. Makes us feel somewhat safer.

My favorite
Dadar Varanasi Superfast Express/12167
Travel Time: 27h 15m 11 halts Distance: 1495 km Avg Speed: 54 km/hr
My father says this train can complete whole journey within 20 hours if unannounced stoppage at various small stations & outer signals and speed restrictions(compared to Mahanagri Express) are not applied. If whole track is electrified,with 4-5 stoppage allowed it can complete journey in 17-18 hours.

China has applied home grown techniques to fight against permafrost which is a commanding feat. Discovery channel is broadcasting it continuously.
