Fueling China’s growth

The Trans Mongolian/Siberian Railway line runs right through Ulaanbaatar and we look out on it from our office windows.  Every day we see 3 or 4 trains like this one, loaded with lumber coming from Russia and heading to China to feed the rapidly growing economy. The trains are so long that it takes 4 locomotives to pull them.  We can only hope that who ever is cutting such huge forests is doing so in a sustainable manner.
