The "train on train" concept is a hoot!

"The "Train on Train" concept involved loading narrow-gauge KoKi 100 container wagons on to specially built standard-gauge wagons to allow operation at speeds of up to 200 km/h (120 mph)."

"As of 2020, although the plan had not been implemented,Speeds were reported as having been increased to 160 km/h (99 mph) after extensive testing"

LOL!!!




"the use of a tunnel boring machine (TBM) was abandoned after less than two kilometres (1.2 miles) owing to the variable nature of the rock and difficulty in accessing the face for advanced grouting"
