Can anyone fill me on the construction costs or the economical feasibility of this?

A railroad from Russia to Egypt!

Now, with Iraq slowly coming together, and maybe signing a peace treaty with Israel, a railroad from Cairo to Russia is possible, geographically.

If The networks of Israel and Iraq will be connected, as well as a railroad from Egypt to Israel, and from Iraq to Georgia, We can have transportation by land.

Is it feasible economically?

Agree. Another railways station could help, though.

You forgot Jordan.

[Az]

We'd build through Jordan. Much sand about nothing.

Har Har.

Ok, that looked stupid, I better change it. But you know what I meant.


Serb: No, at least not at this time.

[C0ckney]

what benefit would it bring?

also you'd have problems in the caucasus (sp?) region, lots of trouble there.

[BeBMan]

Well, what would be the goal - transport of persons or freight (or both). How much people would use it? Wouldn´t they rather use planes? I don´t know how expensive flights are currently in Russia and the ME, but in Europe (and AFAIK also the US) you can have pretty cheap flights.

Let's check the trade balance between Egypt and Russia, shall we? Or wider, The trade balance of the SW CIS to NE Africa.

All that trade is through low tech goods, so you get more cargo than a trade balance of Diamonds or High-tech chips. More Cargo= More money.

Another important thing to check is the cost of transport by ship, and the speed of transport. ( I suspect that the Railroads will have an advantage, but I am not sure ).

[Az]

BeBro: I am talking mostly freight.

Sad.
Then a couple of questions. Who will pay for this? And who will build it?
As I understand Israel don't have much experience with really long railroads. Russia has the longest railroads in the world, the largest summary lenght of all its railroads and the most experience with long railroads. That means we should build it. ...in this case...YES!!! It's VERY possible economically!!! You pay, we build- everyone happy.
We should start at once!!! When we can sign a contract?

[Az]

Who will pay? The venture capitalists, of course.

Ok, let's register a company, hire some people to build an economic analysis of such a railroad, and if possible, start looking into construction contractors with the needed experience, and reliability.

[Serb]

Cool.
I know whole bunch of people who know how to build rairoads. They are my former teachers from my former university and my buddies who still work on various railroads around the country. We could gather them and make concept of this new railroad, then we could drink to celabrate such great event...then we could wake-up in police and our project will be closed permanently

hi ,

there is no problem with our railroad , but one you hit egypt , .... or jordan , or any of our neighbors its a disaster , ......

both for cargo and people

if they are willing to invest , and expand and spend money on that railroad that leads from iraq ( has not been maintained since 91 ) to aqaba then we are talking , ..... all that would be needed is a track from Beersheba to Eilat and we are talking

have a nice day
