Bering strait line to us Possible, experts say

Chinese railway experts are urging the government to consider the feasibility of a rail line that connects the nation with the United States.

Wang Mengshu, a tunnel and railway expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said scholars and researchers have been discussing the seemingly unimaginable railway for a long time.

He said the 13,000-km-long line was expected to start in northeastern China and go through Russia's eastern Siberia, the Bering Strait, Alaska, Canada and then reach the contiguous US.
