That is quite remarkable footage,and seems to prove the old adage that, if a government throws enough money at something, a solution will eventually be found.  Thank you fro bringing it to our attention.

BTW, it's interesting to consider that China is expanding its rail network at a time when most other countries are shrinking theirs.  Does the CCP know something that those in the West don't???

Again, thank you.

Very trick piece of kit :goggleeyes:
As it was all speeded up I wonder what the actual time lapse was from start to finish laying that span?
