Its because the americans lazy so he goes around... where as the russian knows that the rout through the mountians is shorter for the train once complete so he does the hard work now for the pay off latter & also because he just likes blowing <snip> up.civn said:Couple years back, there was an episode on PBS on the evolution of railroads. If you're laying a track between 2 cities and there's a mountain in between, that's how those two type of engineers would've decide, the Russian will blow a hole in the mountains, and the US would go around. The show didn't disclosure what influences the decisions, any railroad engineers in here want to take a crack at this?
Maybe that'll change once the Russia join the WTO![]()
