Sounds like a Flagler dream. But, what about the Andes?

>> The world's longest train journey ended last month after traveling 8,000 miles from China to Spain. The train left the eastern Chinese city of Yiwu in mid-November, traveled 20 days and passed through eight countries before arriving in Madrid on Dec. 8. Designed to test what could become a new rail route directly between China and Spain, the train's goods arrived in Spain 10 days sooner than if they had been shipped by sea, the South China Post reported. On the trip to Spain, the train's containers were loaded with tools and toys. As of press time, the train was scheduled to return to China loaded with wine, olive oil and cured ham. A regular China-Spain freight-rail service could open next year. During a ceremony held upon the train's arrival in Madrid, Zhejiang governor Li Qiang told news media the route is important to further expand trade between the continents and "implement the strategy of developing a new silk road."
