Canadian Investors Form Partnership for Luxury Tibetan Rail Venture

A group of mainly Canadian investors has announced plans for a joint venture with the Chinese rail monopoly to build and run a super-luxury train service from Beijing to Tibet. They will of course utilize the new and highly touted 'highest railway in the world.'

The group claims their trains will be the most luxurious in the world and tickets will cost upwards of $1000 per day. It sounds very fancy indeed.
