Tel Aviv-Jerusalem railroad (in Hebrew, but good to see anyway for English speaking viewers.)

Concept of the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem hi-speed train

Dear Family and Friends,

I thought some of you "Israel Lovers" might be interested in this 10-minute video.

The narrative is in Hebrew, but you can still get the gist of the story through the video.

Naturally we have seen much of this under construction as we drive between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem several times a month when we are in Israel.  The bridges spanning the valleys are truly majestic!  Also, at the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem one can see the underground construction going on where the train will enter town.  

It will come into the area of the Central Bus Station about 50 or 60 feet below ground.  (Between the Central Bus Station and the Crown Plaza Hotel one can actually look into this big hole and see the work going on about 5 or six stories below; it's pretty spectacular.)  

Anyway, when you have a spare 10 minutes, enjoy the video...
