Is the entire track elevated? I would assume that would aid in grading the tracks - or is it to not interfere with some of the land uses (livestock, grazing, etc) of the surrounding land?

Great stuff, btw.

My best wish is that the railway helps Tibetans out of poverty as soon as possible. They are human being entitled for having better life instead of isolated one.

china always wants to be "bigger, better and MORE bigger" but at the expense of the environment - first the 3 gorges, then now the railroad track, i wouldnt be surprised if they build a bridge connecting china from taiwan.
