Don't know the route, presumably they would have customs seals on. Wouldn't be searched at every border I shouldn't think.

It would have to otherwise it could ride on european railways, we built most of em so they are the same gauge as ours.

"Because of the different railway gauges involved, a single train cannot travel the whole route and the containers need to be reloaded at various points."
