Low hills closed in on either side as the train eventually crawled on to high,

tabletop grasslands creased with snow. Birds flew at window level. I could

see lakes of an unreal cobalt blue to the north. The train pulled into a

sprawling rail yard: the Kazakh side of the Kazakhstan-China border.

Workers unhitched the cars, lifted them, one by one, ten feet high with

giant jacks, and replaced the wide-gauge Russian undercarriages with

narrower ones for the Chinese tracks. Russian gauges, still in use

throughout the former Soviet Union, are wider than the world standard.

The idea was to the prevent invaders from entering Russia by train. The

changeover took hours.

— Robert D. Kaplan, The Ends of the Earth
