I thought that this was the year I'd be paying for my Honolulu rail fare in cryptos!
How long have they been building HART? I read this today, the Chinese high speed rail line to Tibet just opened:
A 435-kilometer (250-mile) rail line connecting Tibetan capital Lhasa with the city of Nyingchi entered into service on June 25...
Some 90% of the route, which took six years to construct, sits higher than 3,000 meters above sea level.
The Lhasa-Nyingchi line features 47 tunnels and 121 bridges -- which account for about 75% of the whole route. This includes the 525-meter-long Zangmu Railway Bridge, the largest and highest arch bridge of its kind in the world.
