Himalayan rail route endorsed

China has the technology and experience to build line from Tibet to South Asia, experts say

A Himalayan train ride at more than 100 kilometers per hour at the foot of the world's highest snow-capped mountains and oldest glaciers is no longer just a dream, Chinese railway experts say.

With more than 19,000 km of high-speed - up to 350 km per hour - railways, China has accumulated the technology and experience to build a rail link between the Tibet autonomous region and the South Asian subcontinent, they say.
