The Trans-Siberian Railway - longest in the world

The Trans-Siberian Railway post has now been edited to remove/change the old placemarks. Placemarks now indicate regular passenger run stations. The route itself has now been traced with a series of paths. Leave the path on for easy viewing of the roadbed, or turn it off for a more realistic view. Drift at your own pace or run the cities as a tour. You can even highlight the path and run it as a driving directions type tour.

Huge and unique, travel information, transportation, or something else. I'm not sure of where to post this first part of a continuing project, but I settled on transportation.

The Trans-Siberian Railway is the longest railroad in the world. There is actually a lot more to it than what is in the attachment here, but if you were to ride it, this is the part you would use. More branches of it will be added as replies later. The idea here is to let you get an idea of the size and range of the railroad, and in the process get a good view of Russian geography. As the TSRR web page shows, you can see it from space. This post will give you a view from space, but also a more intimate view. Enjoy.

The western terminus in Moscow

The eastern terminus in Vladivostok, 9,289 km ( 5, 772mi) from Moscow.

Picture from the Handbook
Edited: 12-21-05 for placemark location and to add paths. Major rivers crossed, loops, and tunnels are also indicated. Where spelling of place names differs from GE, I used the spelling from the handbook for my placemarks.
