SIlk Road Route Open AGain! - MountainMan - 02-15-2016
Today, China and Iran announced that a Chinese train had arrived in Iran to celebrate the re-opening of the Silk Road route between those two nations and to herald a new trade and (presumably) passenger service.
This is quite interesting given the far more common use of air carriers these days, and calls into question exactly what these two nations might be shipping back and forth.
