The more I look and think about this, the worst of a proposal it seems lol
Great idea
Imagine that Bering Sea crossing.
I’d ride that train.
Probably be on it for a month, but I’d do it!
It’s not a proper proposal, it’s a line on a map.
Why?
what would be the point of a route between Mosco and Fairbanks? The ridership would be so low it might as well be zero. And freight wouldn’t be much better. Its the most inefficient route to get shit from Europe to NA, and vice versa.
I’m sure it’s real in the prime timeline.
breaking down in Siberia would be tough
No idea how feasible ot would be but that’d make an amazing sleeper train
Haha this is old. I remember being like 15 when this proposal came out, I was so hyped thinking it was the coolest infrastructure project ever.
There is so much corruption in Russia that all the money in the world would not be enough to build such a road.
I think if you wanted a rail freight superhighway like this, you’d need a much more peaceful world:
Edinburgh – London – Paris – Strassbourg – Sruttgart – Prague – Vienna – Budapest – Belgrade – Sofia – Istanbul – Baghdad – Tehran
Most of that is achievable with existing railways, and/or new railways on not crazy mountains.
From there you somehow have to get through the insanely mountainous regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, across Northern Laos to Hanoi, then through several Chinese cities before entering Russia at Vladivostok and heading up through remote dangerous territory for hundreds upon hundreds of miles to cross the Bering Strait, which is also insanely impossible.
The across Alaskan wilderness to Anchorage, Canada and finally New York.
If each country funded the parts in their own territory and contributed towards the insane parts in Russia etc, it isn’t impossible, but would it be worth it?
Goes through a bunch of nothing. It would need some connections to be able to get to Beijing or Los Angeles easily from there.
did you know rail is the most efficient form of transportation? Have a nuke plant on either side and make it a bullet train
Why he is the PAST president of Russian Railways.
Snowpiercer map vibes
that would be awesome
I realize that this is already *technically* possible, but I hope to see in my lifetime a world where things would be peaceful and cooperative enough for it to be *politically* possible.
Calgary erasure is real.
Sounds like an amazing post-WWIII project!!
As an American I enjoy road trips, but I’m not driving all the way across fucking Siberia
„bro we should give the railways so much money“ – guy who runs the railways
A Bering Straight bridge of tunnel is viable in itself. The greater issue is the lack of road and railway infrastructure on either side. It is lacking in the remote western part of Alaska and even worse in the eastern Russian Arctic region.
Stop in Ulaanbataar, cowards!
Back before the world became what it is, I saw this and thought yeah, that would be cool… now even if technically possible (questionable) – no. But abstractly I like the idea
This would be a great experiment for self driving trucks . Build the high way. Limit the Bering crossing to Self driving trucks only .
In Russia, superhighway drives you.
Aren’t the tracks a different size in Europe? I swear I read somewhere that’s the reason this will never happen
r/foreignmarketcars and r/foreignplatespotting is gonna have a blast if this happens
Mercator illusion.
Just floating a tube in the North Atlantic would be shorter and easier.
Projects like this>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Wars….
Most people don’t want anything to do with Russia now a days. Hard Pass.
Dude clearly hasn’t driven the Al-Can if he thinks you can put a super highway through that territory.
