The Karakorum highway crosses the backbone of Asia, connecting Chinese Turkestan and Pakistan. The Kunjerab Pass, at 15397ft, is probably the highest border crossing in the world. This shows the highway as it leaves Kashgar headed for the Pamir Plateau.
I love this sign. Found it in the middle of the Wadi Rum desert in southern Jordan near the border with Saudi Arabia. Originally the train line was built to carry pilgrims to Jeddah, but it has long been abandoned.
The Van Golu Espressi, from Kars to Istanbul. Notable because it is about 2/3 of the way between Singapore and Narvik, which is the longest train journey on earth. Actually, 30 trains. One pair of tracks.
