US Army Corps of Engineers Building Railroads in Afghanistan
The US Army Corps of Engineers is reportedly involved in building a for-profit railroad in Afghanistan. Projects include a 50-mile link from Uzbekistan to Mazar-e Sharif and technical studies for a 200-kilometer line connecting Afghanistan to Pakistan. The hosts speculate the infrastructure is intended to transport gemstones, gold, or opium out of the country.
