The Russian government is evaluating the viability of constructing a railway through the Altai Mountains, known as the Transaltai Railway, to facilitate trade with China. Four route options are under consideration, ranging from 825 to 1123 kilometers in length. While the project aims to compete with the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route and mitigate risks associated with southern maritime routes, it currently lacks an estimate or timeline. Experts express caution regarding the ability of future coal demand to justify the substantial investment.
