1. Vladimir Fortov:

   The idea is that basing on the new technology of high-speed rail transport we can build a new railway near the Trans-Siberian Railway with the opportunity to go to Chukotka and Bering Strait and then to the American continent.

2. Simone Borelli:

   I think a good case in point is Seoul, in South Korea -- they actually took out an entire motorway (in the city center) and put the river in there with trees and plants, in Manila, they are establishing miniature parks wherever they can -- crossroads, along the railway, old industrial areas -- there's a lot of urban space that is wasteland, so there are areas that can be converted.

3. Bob Casey:

   It’s bipartisan – that never happens around here on big bills, or rarely I should say. It would be a good start by Norfolk Southern to tell us today, in addition to what more they’re going to do for the people of Ohio and Pennsylvania, tell us today that they support the bill. That would help. If a major rail company said, ‘we support these reforms and will help you pass this bill,’ That’s what I think the people of both states deserve, we have a lot of work to do in the near term, but the future has to be about passing the Railway Safety Act.

   I see how people are living and how needy they are now. They're losing their jobs, and many families are cutting back on spending to finance loans. People cannot pay, jobs are being lost in all industries except food. Just next to our factory is a factory that produces parts for railway engines. The buyers have no money to pay and they cannot afford to buy the raw materials to fulfill their orders. It's a chain ... Whole sectors are moving into a period of stagnation.

5. Simon George:

   I met Marie about two years ago and when we started dating, I led her to believe I was a wine merchant, it sounded sexier than saying I was building a model railway, which usually sends women running. She came down to the cellar one day and said: 'Where's all the wine?' I told her the truth and she was like 'OK.' But she has an art degree so she appreciated the level of detail and work that went into it. We're now engaged.
