Undoubtedly, there are many ways to travel, but most travelers consider speeding across the Siberian railway to be a rare opportunity in a lifetime.
This is a journey worthy of being described in novels, praised in songs, recorded in travel notes, and depicted in movies, truly an epic adventure.
Of course, this is for modern tourists. Going back several decades or over a hundred years, this railway represented exile, prison, and even death for many.
However, stripping away that emotional content reveals that this railway is simply the most convenient and cheapest way to traverse the vast expanses of Russia by land from one place to another.
The main line of the railway that crosses Siberia was completed between 1891 and 1916, connecting the Russian capital Moscow with the port city of Vladivostok in the east of the country.
