Here's an inspiring article on the Trans-Siberian Railway:
"It covers seven time zones. It spans the world's largest continent and chugs deeply into yet another. It is 5,786 miles long, end to end... The Trans-Siberian Railway is one of the most extraordinary adventures in the travel world, in any world. An engineering accomplishment to rival the Pyramids or the Panama and Suez canals, it covers the entire Asian continent, to the wide-eyed wonder of visitors and local travelers alike. And it runs on time. We rode these incredible rails for 5,563 miles - the equivalent of taking the train from Bar Harbor, Maine, to Honolulu, with 430 miles to spare - and finished three minutes ahead of schedule. Amazing!" [much more]
