Across two continents

>From China, the rail route is from Beijing through Mongolia, Siberia and across the rest of Russia to Europe.

When I was on a mission in Mongolia 20 years ago, I stimulated interest of the Finnish to get into this, the freight cars to be ferried from Finland to other Western European countries including England.   Didn´t jive then.

There has been a lot of exploration by Australians of new railroad routes recently in and across Mongolia.

OMG!  I stand corrected.  A guy in my hometown had a dog from there.  Had to own a meat packing plant to keep him fed.

I don’t recall the routing of this train.  Wonder if they skirted north or south of the Himalayas?

European mountain geography:

Thems across betwixt Spain and France are the Pyrenees. The Appenines run down the middle of Italy.

There still ain’t no flat way to get from Germany to Spain.  They’s mountains ‘tween France and Spain.  If they ain’t Alps they’s still a major obsitckle.  Maybe you call ‘em Appenines . . .

And ain’t ya got the Caucasus? ? ?

Of course, to get to the Andes ya gotta bridge the Panama Canal .  .  .

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

Across two continents

Norfolk Southern could participate with a western carrier in a  freight train trip across the North American continent, but how about an 8,000-mile freight train trip across two continents?  The item below is from January 2015's Progressive Railroading magazine.

China-Spain rail route the 'new silk road'

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."
