Laos is about to get its first railway, a humble 2.17-mile line crossing from the Thailand-Laos Friendship Bridge toward the capital Vientiane. It may be short but it will connect landlocked Laos with seaports in Thailand and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. Many plans are afoot with France and China to expand the railway through central Vietnam and north all the way to Kunming, China. For now those plans are a dream, but the short new line will open later this month.
