Aaaaanyway, this is only on my mind bc someone was posting about Doha Metro in NUMTOT today (daily reminder: NICE RENDERINGS DON'T MEAN IT'LL ACTUALLY HAPPEN), which prompted me to look into Qatar Rail, which definitely looks like it's on ice: https://www.qr.com.qa/English/Projects/Pages/LongDistance.aspx …

High-speed rail to Bahrain? Passenger and freight link to KSA? Sounds great but I'm pretty sure they'll shoot on sight if they see you doing construction within a mile of the border

For those interested: hasty sketch of proposed Qatar Passenger Rail network (alignments VERY speculative, esp the high speed line bc I have no idea the angle of approach they had in mind for Bahrain)

On a related note: it finally happened! Saudi Arabia actually finished their high speed railway and opened it last Thursday (not an ED reference) after 9 years of construction. You can see some of the architecture and train interiors here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyYpBlZYA8o …
