The Qinghai-Tibet Railway, 1,956-kilometer-long, which began service in July 2006, is the world’s highest and longest plateau(高原) railroad and also the first railway connecting the Tibet autonomous region with other parts of China.
The Qinghai-Tibet Railway is a symbolic project in China's West Development Strategy and will play a significant role in accelerating the social and economic development of Qinghai Province and Tibet Autonomous Region.
Read the passage and find out why the railway is particularly special to the author.
The author has worked on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway. Once believed “impossible”, the highest railway in the world is a record of the efforts of the workers to overcome the most difficult engineering challenges. These efforts and their end results mean that the railway is special to the author.

2 To highlight the amount of work required to build the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
3 To praise the workers' efforts in building the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
