Trans-Asian Railway

The Trans-Asian Railway is a project to connect railway lines all throughout Asia, so that people and goods can travel quickly and safely from one country to another. This means that trains will be able to go from China, through many other Asian countries, and down to Singapore. This railway will be more than 12,000 kilometers long and will go through 17 countries. It will help people, goods, and services move around more quickly and easily, which is important for business and trade. It will also create new jobs and help make it easier for people to visit different countries in Asia.
