Twice a week, Quiz.HaitiLibre presents a column titled "Did You Know ?" Today, we ask : which legendary train, connecting Moscow to Vladivostok, constitutes the longest continuous railway line in the world?
"Did you know that the Trans-Siberian Railway crosses the entirety of Russia, linking the capital, Moscow, to the city of Vladivostok ?
The Trans-Siberian Railway is a mythical railway network that crosses all of Russia connecting the capital, Moscow, to the city of Vladivostok located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. Stretching over 9,000 kilometres and crossing seven different time zones, it is the longest continuous rail line in the world.
Inaugurated at the beginning of the 20th century after years of colossal work, this iconic train plays a vital role for the Russian economy by transporting passengers and large quantities of freight across Eurasia.
The full trip requires about a week of uninterrupted travel through the taiga, the Ural Mountains and the shores of Lake Baikal. An absolute symbol of long-distance travel, the Trans-Siberian Railway is a dream for adventurers from all over the world and remains a must-see monument in the history of rail transport.
