Traveling the Trans-Siberian Railway in 1916
On May 31, 1891, in Russia’s Far Eastern port of Vladivostok, the future Russian Emperor Nicholas II, then Tsesarevich, launched the construction of the Great Siberian Railway, now called the Trans-Siberian Railway.
The railway was built in the wild and sparsely populated taiga simultaneously from the west and from the east. In those days, it took a train 12 days to travel the 9,000-plus kilometers from Moscow to Vladivostok.
