Slowhatch:
--- Quote ---Alternatively, take local trains from Beijing to the Mongolian border, cross by bus, and continue to Ulaanbaatar on local trains.

Another article that suggests (last paragraph) that there's no straight-through train service.
Chateau d If:
Thanks Slowhatch, I was looking for that confirmation angle. But I got nowhere. I did have my suspicions that it was the place. Here it is by Google Earth.
Below was the picture I was going by. From here.
Slowhatch:
The GE stuff is interesting. If you look at the northern suburbs you can see the difference between the ger-city and the Western/Soviet city. I tried using GE to find Terelj, but it's in the fuzzylands; generally, it's north of Nalayh and east of UB.
Slowhatch:
I agree with the others that the drive to the border (if the poster heard the account correctly) is a bit puzzling. Here's a newspaper story of the 33-hour train trip: the border delay occurs when they switch the undercarriage. And here's a webshot of a ticket for train 23. And I checked the Miat 2006 schedule for PEK-ULN: it's sparse, but there are flights available (none on Tuesday).

I invited Charlie & Rachel from Mongolia to join us so if you see them make sure shout :hello2:
Slowhatch thats one of the questions I hope Charlie can answer !!
