Summary:We take a ride on Kazakhstan's trains, speaking to the operators investing $40 billion into the country's railways in the next few years. Hopping off at the capital Astana, we admire the city's futuristic architectural delights -- also soon to be home to central Asia's tallest skyscraper. Long gone are the camel caravans of centuries ago and where once the old Silk Road routes stood, the government now hopes to build a superhighway stretching over 5,000 miles -- cutting the time of trade shipments to Europe by more than half.
