I Spent 3 Days on the World’s Longest Railway | Russian Trans-Siberian Train

Описание: 3 Days on the World's Longest Railway: The Real Trans-Siberian Experience
I spent 92 hours traveling 2,500 miles across Russia on the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway. From the "Iron Spine" history of Tsar Nicholas II to the reality of Platscart (third class).

We begin our journey in Irkutsk, settling into the cheapest seats on the train where privacy doesn't exist, but hot tea and window-staring do. I’ll take you through the incredible engineering feats of 1891, the secret history of the BAM line, and what it’s actually like to survive 3 days in a shared sleeping carriage.
