Thank you for supporting the creative commons movement !! The rail transport in Russia has been one of the great economic achievements of the country. Russia is a country larger than the United States or China, so its density rail is lower than that of these two countries, especially in the case of the United States. Since the density of population of Russia is also much lower than that of these two countries. Russian Railways carry their cargo and passengers on very long distances, often through vast and inhospitable areas. The Trans-Siberian Railway, short Transsib, is the longest railway in the world and the main line of Russia. The transcontinental railway is 9289 kilometers long and stretches from Moscow through Siberia to Vladivostok. The Russian name is Transsibirskaja magistral or Trans-Siberian main route. The night trains to Beijing via the Trans-Mongolian Railway and the Trans-Mongolia railroad make up a part of their route using the Transsib. The Transsib is especially important for freight trains. A large proportion of freight transport in Russia will take place on the Transsib. For Siberia is the line a real lifeline; many places were only developed after construction of the railway. There were opposing predictions about the fate of the railway: the most pessimistic predicted large losses due to operating costs, other optimists predicted a great success and the ability to carry cargo between the ' Europe and Japan more quickly and more economically than the sea. In fact the cost of construction of the Trans-Siberian returned completely in a few years. But the line could not compete in the transport market for goods in transit. The railway was single track and unexpectedly also much used by local freight trains, which reduced the average speed is 15 km / h. The third primary route is the Trans, in its plan coincides with the Trans-Siberian until Ulan Ude on the east shore of Lake Baikal. From Ulan-Ude, the Trans heads towards to Ulan Bator, after which continues southeast to Beijing. The Trans-Siberian remains the most important means of communication in Russia, to the point that about 30% of the country's exports are transported by it. While the attraction leads many visitors traveling in it, it is still widely used by the Russians in their domestic travel. At the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War in February 1904, the capacity of the Trans-Siberian railway was limited to ten trains per day in each direction. However, until the war ended, the capacity could be more than doubled. After the end of the Russian-Japanese war of 1904-1905 there was a threat of loss of control over Manchuria and the Chinese Eastern Railway, and hence the eastern part of the Trans-Siberian. It was necessary to continue the construction so that the highway passes only through the territory of the Russian Empire. The Trans-Siberian Railway had a direct positive impact on the economy of the area, they opened up: foreign investment in mining, commerce, railways and factories, coupled with the establishment of consulates and foreign trade office in Vladivostok. The Trans-Siberian Railway crosses 16 major rivers In addition, it extends 207 km along the Lake Baikal and 39 km along the Amur Bay. During the day they connect sporadically express trains with seats towns along the Trans-Siberian Railway, for example, Omsk-Novosibirsk. The average travel speed of passenger trains on the Trans-Siberian Railway is 60 to 70 km / h. Freight trains go slower. Since 2010, several freight trains between China and Europe now offered. Their cargo is on the system interface boundaries between standard gauge transhipped and broad gauge. Since end of November 2011 runs a daily train of Trans-Eurasia Logistics for BMW factory Leipzig to Shenyang. The third is the main line of the Trans-Mongolian Railway, which coincides with the Trans-Siberian railway to the city of Ulan Ude, located on the east shore of Baikal. From this city the Trans-Mongolian Railway is heading to the capital of Mongolia. The main route Trans-Siberian Railway began in Moscow at Yaroslavsky Vokzal, passing through Yaroslavl, Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk, Ulan-Ude, Chita and Khabarovsk to Vladivostok via southern Siberia.
