There is a very good article in this month's(July) Wired Magazine on some of the high tech solutions used to build this Railway over permafrost. It was extremely tricky to do and many wonder if it will work for more than ten years because of rising temperatures in the area. It is so high in elevation that each seat on has an oxygen port so the passengers do not pass out. Bombardier built the cars at the rate of one a day for the last two years. They really did nothing small or inexpensively on this one. <br /> <br />Really an amazing feat.
