Qinghai-Tibet railway completed
China made history again when it laid down the last rail of the Qinghai-Tibet Railway in Lhasa, first railway line in Tibet, this week, marking completion of the world's most elevated railway line. This is considered as an engineering marvel in the world's history of railway construction. This project is expected to be extremely useful for the economic benefits for Tibet. This railway will carry 75 percent of supply transportation into Tibet after going into operation, according to experts' estimation. The railway is scheduled to embark on its maiden trial running in about eight months. The Tibet railway line is 1142 kms long and connects Germu (Qinghai) with Lhasa (Tibet).
