NORTHERN RAILWAY OPTION
The author points out that the principal economic advantage of a railway over other modes of transportation of oil and liquefied natural gas from the Arctic lies in its flexibility. A number of railways currently operate in regions of permafrost and one has been doing so for more than forty years. Railway rationale, construction, technology, implementation, economics, etc., are discussed in this article.
