Halving the transit time is great news in the logistics business. But I'm wondering about transit cost. Ocean shipment generally gives you the best bang per buck per mile. However, with fewer miles from point to point and fewer inter modal transfers, this could be huge $$ savings as well.

Hasn't an identically gauged rail "link" (if not a single carrier and vehicle) linked Asia and Europe for almost a century or more?
How old is the Trans-Siberian railway?
I wish the story even hinted at some minor details about the route taken.
