Russia: Trans-Siberian Railway

Frank J PeterOctober 12, 2015April 8, 2023Russia

A sampling of images from my three-week adventure on and along the Trans-Siberian Railway…

… an epic journey through nine time zones and over 12, 000 kilometers… from Moscow to Vladivostok…. with stops in Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk, Listvyanka, Lake Baikal, and a side trip to Ulanbator and the Karakorum in Mongolia.

Let’s go!

Moscow Train Station…

Sasha, a Russian sniper!

About to drain a bottle of vodka with Sasha (on the very first night)

A cozy, clean compartment for the first of many legs on different trains, others pretty rough!

Yekaterinburg…

A toast with Nikolai the entertainer!

Listvyanka…

Lake Baikal…

Irtutsk…

Epic Border Crossing Russia to Mongolia and back again…

Russia-Mongolia Border

The longest-feeling leg (I did not meet a single tourist for days)

Vladivostok…

Arrival in the middle of the night.

Rockabilly buskers!

Poseidon for real!

Did you know that Yul Brynner was born in Vladivostok?
