>>1042732I could see Broad gauge route Beijing - Berlin more probable. Through mongolia. That would be hugely politically advantageouls thing for the Russian to push for. To open some new railheads deep into bo Europe and China, if the can. It seems Northern Afghanistan will be broad gauge as well as Mongolian railways.
It's a shame because the traditional route of the transsiberian express to Beijing (and not some stinky Vladivostok), used to be broad gauge all the way. Today, Mongolia though is pushing broad gauge to China, not other way around, all the way to Jining. It's interesting to see if the Chinese railway trade route through transsiberian railway emerges.
Amazing things are happening, globally even if the usual things we discuss are quite stangnated.
