National Geographic - Extreme Railway: Qinghai-Tibet Railway (2011)
Information
Extreme Railway: Qinghai-Tibet Railway
Engineer Pasi Lautala takes a look at the hi-tech solutions employed by the Chinese government in
building the Qinghai-Tibet railway, which runs all the way from Xining to Lhasa. The 1000 kilometre
track was planned over 50 years ago but had to wait until modern technology and engineering know-how
could help to overcome the harsh environment of the Tibetan plateau. Permafrost, thin air and sand
still threaten the amazing achievement which includes 675 bridges and the world’s highest tunnel.
140,000 labourers built the railway with the help of 2,000 medics who were needed to deal with
altitude sickness. Lautala follows the train’s route and looks at the structural solutions devised
by China’s top engineers.

yes most of the mvgroup stuff is older or recaps. I don't think Ive ever seen anything "current"
tends to repost stuff after air dates.

I don't think this is a rerun, I saw a previous documentary of this railway posted in the mvgroup, but it
was produced by NHK( the china state media ). I'm hoping this one will be a little less propaganda.
