Utopia or reality: From Moscow to Washington by rail

45
An event virtually unnoticed by the federal media was associated with the development of the Russian railways network. The first passenger train arrived at the Yakut station Nizhny Bestyakh (Best-Eeh). The importance of this event for the largest region of the Russian Federation is difficult to overestimate. After all, now the nearest passenger station to Yakutsk is located just 30 km from the administrative center of the republic. In fact, this event has been waiting for more than a century.





Against this background, the channel “Time is forward!” Publishes a video clip in which it reflects on the possibility of developing the railways of Siberia and the Far East - to the north. This kind of development can eventually lead to the implementation of a megaproject - the connection of Eurasia and North America by railway. To implement the project, it is necessary to at least build a bridge across the Bering Strait. Additionally, we need a railway line through Chukotka, where, as in Yakutia, permafrost prevails.

The project of such a railway is able to provide an opportunity to get from Russia and European countries to Canada and the USA by train, as well as to transport almost any commercial cargo. From Moscow to Washington by rail - utopia or reality?

Details about the possibility of implementing such an ambitious project, in which the idea of ​​a transcontinental rail link from Eurasia to North America can be realized - in the video:

              And now it’s harmful ... here’s the type of reservation in the USA. Draw your own conclusions.

              Well, about going to the USA in general, a separate film needs to be filmed, under the title, "How To Die Slowly and More Painfully."

        If you go from the European part, how long will it take ?! Easier by plane. Then if it is a bridge, then climatic conditions, especially in winter! It’s not so much to build, but to get to this bridge in the winter will be hemorrhagic, but we must still exploit this part of the railway In addition to ambition, I did not see anything in this project

            Such railway from Moscow to Kamchatka will cost several tens of trillions of rubles. It will be much cheaper to create and launch a supersonic passenger plane.

          And who says that the stake has been made on passenger transportation "Moscow-Kamchatka"? If we seriously discuss this concept, then it will be cargo transportation on the 9 / 10th: the NSR will either be free of ice, or not, and in winter cargoes should also be transported to the North and Kamchatka / Chukotka. And local passenger transportation will certainly be in demand.

              to Alaska, and what are you going to carry there?

              I don't know, this is a question for the author of the article. I just wrote that the Bering Bridge appeared in the popular science press back in late Soviet times (or even earlier) and that the railway to Kamchatka and Chukotka, in my opinion, will be in demand as a winter replacement for the NSR. And whether to connect our system with a relatively short bridge with Alaska or not is the second question, it will not require much expenses - on both sides there will already be something to connect them.

      What's the point? It’s cheaper to carry goods by sea, and the main passenger flow is not between Yakutsk and Alaska, but between the European part of Russia and the two coasts of the southern part of the USA. There, an airplane needs a train - who needs a couple of weeks to shake in a compartment?

      Ideally, of course, it’s better to build a piece of iron in Kamchatka through Chukotka and a railway bridge to Sakhalin, but these mega projects will require tremendous effort and money, and given the population density

        What if a comfortable train? Well, or is it a tourist route with full-fledged residential cars? The longest rail trip in the world.
        It is clear that somehow the Bering Strait must be overcome. And I think most likely there will be a tunnel, not a bridge. They will also get extreme sports ...) In Siberia ...

          The question has been discussed since the 1980s, no less. In "TM", for example, there was an article where the author stood behind a covered car + railway bridge.

          The fact that the road needs to be stretched to the strait is unambiguous, it may be necessary to supply troops, and to dig a tunnel or bridge idiocy.

      Yes, it is with such leadership that the project can begin! It is somewhere in the "rotten" West that they consider when the project will pay off, they are looking for investors (they also count). And here they will allocate 100500 billion to some friend of the President, and they will start cutting money. a lot to do. Everything will pay the budget., and you will not find the ends. hi

          With the current volume of trade with the states, there can be no talk of any colossal profit, and you won’t earn much on passengers.
