== Is the freight line related? == |

I see here that freight [https://news.cgtn.com/news/2023-11-19/First-China-Laos-Thailand-express-freight-train-departs-from-Chengdu-1oQZOYRv8cw/index.html moved recently] from Chengdu. Is this related, do we have a wiki article for this? Thanks! [[User:Jtbobwaysf|Jtbobwaysf]] ([[User talk:Jtbobwaysf|talk]]) 10:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC) |

"hinders trade of goods"
I think this is a value judgement that runs against the NPOV policy of Wikipedia. Rbakels (talk) 10:32, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

Construction stalled
Regarding this edit, while the source appears reliable, other sources contradict it. Laos-China Railway track 80 per cent complete. Possible the writer of the Bangkok Post misinterpreted the image caption. @NemesisAT: Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 17:32, 22 April 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for bringing this to my attention, the article doesn't appear to mention the railway at all, apart from in the caption. I was sceptical about that edit as it credited "APF" who, when reading the article, appears to be the source of the image. Given the dubious nature of the current source, I'd be happy for the edit to be reverted or for a better source to be swapped in. NemesisAT (talk) 19:07, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

Connection to the Thai network?
Does this line connect to the Thai network? I was a bit confused when using Google Earth. The Thanaleng railway station suggests that it does, and that both the line from Thailand and the line from China will use the new station to the east. However the track gauges don't match? NemesisAT (talk) 13:02, 2 December 2021 (UTC)
- My understanding is that it does not connect yet, but it will eventually connect to the Bangkok–Nong Khai high-speed railway around 2028. Jpatokal (talk) 04:19, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- The Thanaleng station is on a different line that is not physically connected to this railway. Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 07:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)
- There does appear to be a connection under construction that would link this line to Thanaleng eventually. [1] Pieceofmetalwork (talk) 07:59, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
I see here that freight moved recently from Chengdu. Is this related, do we have a wiki article for this? Thanks! Jtbobwaysf (talk) 10:30, 28 November 2023 (UTC)
