[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by PNWRMNM Tabiery, This is not a lot of cars. Assuming a nominal 70 ton car, which carrys 80 in fact you have a train of 59 cars, say 60 to make the math easy. 10 day cycle would be 600 cars 15 would be 900 cars. Not much of a technical or operating challenge. 440 - The entire Russian economy moves by rail. They do not have much of a highway system. One wise move the communists made was to not waste money on highways to compete with the railroad.

The trains do not operate beyond the Russian / Chinese border. A proposed pipeline would handle 400,000bpd. tom
