Railway tunnels in China > 10 000 m
The World's longest Railway tunnels
| Fenghuoshan Tunnel - The World's highest tunnel |
| LHASA, October 21 (Xinhuanet) - The construction of
the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has achieved yet another
important progress as the Fenghuoshan Tunnel has just
been drilled through to form the world's highest railway
tunnel. The Fenghuoshan, or Wind-Fire-Mountain in
English, tunnel is situated at an altitude of 4,905
meters as the plane of rail tracks are concerned. The
tunnel measures 1,338 meters and goes through perma-frost
and ice layers of the mountain that is located at the
border of the so-called no-man's land in between Tibet
and Qinghai. Though the construction had to be done in tough weather conditions, railway builders had turned their job into a miracle when they completed the drilling of the tunnel in a year to the day. The construction started on October 18 last year. Due to the extreme lack of oxygen inside the drilling site, oxygen generation machines had to be installed inside the tunnel so as to provide builders with enough oxygen to keep the drilling process as scheduled. |
