Correction
The maps of the proposed Eurasian rail network on the cover and on pages 24-25 of our last issue (No. 28), while primarily designed to show the overall scope of the project, erred in omitting some national boundaries, and also, they contained some misplaced labels. As soon as official maps become available of the former Soviet Union, showing the borders of many of the new republics, particularly in Central Asia, we will print a more accurate version of the plan. Thank you for your patience!
