DANGXIONG COUNTY, TIBET - JUNE 29: A train runs past a village as a Tibetan woman watches it on the Qinghai-Tibet Railway on June 29, 2006 in Dangxiong County, Tibetan Autonomous Region, China. The Qinghai-Tibet railway will begin trial operations on July 1 and schedule has been set for the first five trains to Tibet via the new railway, an official with the Qinghai-Tibet Railway Company said.
