The longest railway in the world, with a total length of 9,332 kilometers and spanning 8 time zones, has been running for 102 years.
Railway is currently the cheapest and most efficient means of transportation on land, and occupies an extremely important position in the comprehensive transportation system of most countries. Since the world's first railway was officially opened to traffic in the UK, the railway, the representative of the product of the industrial revolution, has gone through a history of more than 200 years. Nowadays, as a popular means of transportation, railways are deeply loved by tourists due to their advantages of large volume, fast speed, high safety and low price, and become the preferred means of transportation for people to travel. After taking the train for so many years, do you know which is the longest train line in the world? The line is nearly 10,000 kilometers long and takes 6 days and 6 nights to complete.
This train line is the Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia. It starts from Moscow, the capital of Russia, and passes through vast pine forests, the inaccessible Siberian tundra, the majestic Ural Mountains, and finally arrives at Vladivos, the capital of Primorsky Krai, Russia. Tok (formerly known as Vladivostok), with a total length of 9,288 kilometers. Along the way, the Trans-Siberian Railway has crossed 8 time zones, passed through 14 provinces, 3 regions, 2 countries and 1 Russian Federation Autonomous Region, becoming the longest railway line in the world, known as "Russia's" spine". It has a pivotal impact on the economy and security of Russia and even Eurasia.
It is understood that the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway from 1891 to 1916 took 25 years, and more than hundreds of thousands of workers participated in the construction of the railway in that year alone. As can be seen from the direction of the line, the Trans-Siberian Railway runs through the European part of Russia, Siberia and the Far East of Russia, and crosses 16 Eurasian rivers, so it is also known as the "Eurasian Continental Bridge". Its completion not only made the originally uninhabited Siberia region gradually prosperous, but also brought huge economic benefits to Russia and became the main channel of land transportation in Russia. So far, this railway has been running for 103 years.
If you have the opportunity to travel to Russia, this Trans-Siberian Railway is definitely a good opportunity to see the real Russia. During the journey, you can not only see the vast expanse of the land, but also enjoy the beautiful natural scenery of the Ural River, Lake Baikal and the Siberian Plain. What's just frustrating is that this world's longest train line passes through more than 1,000 stations along the way, and it takes 145 hours to complete the whole journey, 6 days and 6 nights. Such a long ride time, it is estimated that it will make the little friends crazy. Still, the "outrageous" train line is the ultimate destination for many tourists.
From the friends who have been on this train, I learned that this train on the Siberian Railway has a total of 21 passenger cars, including sleepers and hard seats. Each car is equipped with a separate shower, floor heating, TV and A very clean conductor. Therefore, the train is very clean and basically has no odor. Also, if you get tired of looking out the window, you can also relax with a delicious cocktail in the bar area of the train. In general, when traveling to Russia, although taking this train takes a long time, it is not only safe, but also more affordable than taking a plane. If you are interested, you can try it.
