===Trans-Asian Railway===
{{main|Trans-Asian Railway}}
The United Nations [[Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific]] (UNESCAP) is planning a [[Trans-Asian Railway]] that will link Europe and the Pacific, with a Northern Corridor from Europe to the Korean Peninsula, a Southern Corridor from Europe to Southeast Asia, and a North–South corridor from Northern Europe to the Persian Gulf. All these would encounter breaks of gauge as they cross Asia. Current plans have mechanized facilities at the breaks of gauge to move [[Intermodal container|containers]] from train to train rather than widespread gauge conversion. The Northern Corridor through Russia already operates since before year 2000, with increasing volumes China–Europe.
