Yes，the railway will go through some of the most atrocious terrains found on Earth。

But it will be built，albeit by segments。

The Lhasa-Nyingchi segment will start construction in september。There are two possible routes and China has chosen the more difficult southern route for strategic reasons：

It is an undertaking on epic scale。

At the end of the day（or year or decade），Tibet will be connected to the rest of China by 4 magnificent railways：Xining-Lhasa、Kunming-Lhasa、Chengdu-Lhasa and Urumqi-Lhasa。

Wow Tibet is becoming a railway center too inside China.

Long-tunnels and high altitude（thin air）preclude the use of diesel locomotives。The strategically-located Zangmu hydropower station that's scheduled to come online in 2015 will turn out to be extremely handy for an electrified rail line。

Coincidence？

Of course the lines in Tibet are open to our Indian friends。There is absolutely no reason for being otherwise。

Gwadar port has nothing to do with Tibet, Kolkatta port has little value for Tibet since Kunmin is the business HUB that connect to Myanmar port but rail connectivity form Tibet-India-Bangladesh will be an interesting one.

China to build more highways, airports in Tibet

Beijing: China on Saturday said it plans to promote the development of transport infrastructure in Tibet by building more roads and airports by 2020.

The ministry of transport said in a guideline that China aims to expand highways in the autonomous region to 1,10,000 kilometres by 2020.

China plans to complete a primary network of railways by then with 1,300 kilometres of rails in operation. It also plans to build more airports in Tibet, staterun Xinhua news agency said.

Focusing on the rural areas, the authorities have planned to connect at least one road in every village of the country with urban areas by 2020.

To that end, the transport ministry will beef up support to the construction of transport infrastructures in Tibet and make specific plans to ensure the accomplishment of these targets, it said.

Tibet has received about 83 billion yuan ($13 billion) in transport investment during the last 20 years, the report said.

Although airlines, railways and expressways have made travelling to Tibet much more convenient, the transport infrastructures in the autonomous region are still outdated.

"The development of transport in Tibet is crucial to China's national security and lasting prosperity in the autonomous region," the ministry guideline said.

Other Indian members can confirm it, but this is Pakistani Railways! ;-)

However, no question that India has to improve Railway standards!
