Talk:Tanggula railway station

Qinghai or Tibet ?
The issue is not clear : The Encyclopaedia Britannica (also) says that "In its eastern part the range forms the boundary between Tibet and Qinghai province". Searching on a map i've founded "Tanggulashan" located totally in Qinghai, and looking at this map and to the one of Nagqu Prefecture, it could be possible that the station might be not in Tibet. Tanggula is a great mountain area between two regions but i remember an article in 2005 that named this station as Tanggulashan (as the point founded on that map). If they are the "same" location the railway station is in Qinghai, if the station in on the pass (but it doesn't results to me) it is the first one in Tibet. Anyway, on the list, i'm sure 100% that the first tibetan station is Amdo (or Anduo, in Naqu Pref.). Reguarding Zhajiazangbu (Tsagya Tsangpo) and Tuoju (U-nyok Chu) i'm sure they are tibetan at 75%. Buqiangge is sure 100% is in Qinghai. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.17.249.208 (talk) 19:30, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Where are your sources ? I wrothe about hypothesis and i don't change your version... But we are talkin'about the station. I'm sure that it's not located perfecty on Tanggula Pass, so the question remains...

Why doesn't the train stop?
When I encountered it, article made this assertion: Since the region is inhabited, no passenger transport service was available as of 2010. I don't understand that sentence. Surely inhabitation is a reason a train would stop there. Should the sentence read, "Since the region is uninhabited . . ." or maybe, "Since the region is prohibited"? The article needs to make clearer the reason the train doesn't stop there, despite the fact that the Chinese government have spent serious money on making this gleaming new station.
