Trains to Shelter China’s Quake Victims
In Beijing at least, the ones used pre-Olympics have been shipped to Sichuan and converted into temporary winter shelters. Ten DK-16 trains, each with six cars, are now in Guangyuan, a city north of Sichuan’s capital Chengdu.
Ingenious way to deal with the problem of the thousands left homeless by the earthquake, while making sure older subway models don’t end up in a landfill somewhere.
