{UAH} Red Train Rising | Nigeria's $12 billion railroad

The railroad barons of China made their largest overseas deal ever on Nov. 19, signing a $12 billion contract with the government of Nigeria to build a train linking the eastern city of Calabar with the economic hub of Lagos. The train, which will travel at a nice clip of 75 miles per hour along the 850-mile route, will outshine anything the British colonialists ever gave to their African stepchild. But it's more of a throwback to Mao Zedong's China than it is to King Edward's England.
