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

That's the problem with Russia. If you want to do such bussiness, and say... the contractor ****s up, it could take ages to get him in court. And I don't even mention various "Krisha" to which people must pay.

No railroad - No problem!

Believe me no one else except state can't build railroads in Russia. And MPS (minestry of railroads) don't need "krysha".
It's not a problem. So are you hiring or not? Should I call to my "odnakashniky" and tell them that soon we are going to Israel? First of all we should check the site where the road will be started, you know...beaches..bars..

Wow, what a developed network! Moscow's subway is bigger.

I don't trust Russians. Seriously, if you people **** it up, I have nowhere to go to.

hi ,

beaches , bars , harbors , shipping docks , repairs , etc , ...

we are the only nation who has it in the region , ....

drydocks you say , we have them also , and a large holding ownes a couple in Greece and Malta also , ...

with the link the entire region shall get benefits , ....

the only problem is the size of tracks compared to russia , but that can be overcome to make one track fit both types like in Australia or a container terminal

have a nice day

Az , some-one should sell this idea

[Az]

This is not feasible yet, since the capital investment won't be safe in Iraq, yet.

But yes, Yes, YES!

have a nice day

I wonder what the use of such a railroad would be. Usually, long railroad lines are used by passengers commuting on only a part of it.
For example, on the Paris-Vienna, there are many people who only do the Paris-Strasbourg, the Karlsruhe-Stuttgart, or the Vienna's Suburbs - Vienna Centre.

If the railroad connection between fairly big cities of the region isn't enough, then such a railroad would be worth it...

I also wonder what would be the use of such a railroad when it comes to freight. In the region, I'd suppose oil is cheap as hell (ok, maybe not in Israel), and that no country really cares about environment. So I wonder why trucks would be replaced by trains, which are less flexible.

Anybody knows the amount of landbased commerce between Egypt and Jordan ? Or Israel and Georgia ?

[Eli]

Azazel : I think I understand the real motive behind the idea.

We'll build a rail, sign an RoP agreement with Jordan, Iraq, Turkey and Georgia and now that our tanks can move instantaneously, we'll invade Russia!
