Russia by Rail
Russia conjures up a variety of conflicting images. This vast country is just waiting to be explored by the independent traveler, and what better way to explore than by train? The Russian rail system extends far beyond the much-publicised experience of the Trans-Siberian Railway. From the central stations of Moscow and St Petersburg to the farthest reaches of the republic, from the Baltic States and Poland to China and Mongolia, Russia by Rail opens up this huge region to every adventurous traveler.
