Trans Siberian Railway

If, like me, you have always dreamed of travelling from Moscow to Vladivostok on the Trans Siberian Railway, I'm sure you will enjoy this extraordinary web site I've just come across:

Here is the introduction:

"The great Trans Siberian Railway, the pride of Russia, goes across two continents, 12 regions and 87 cities. The joint project of Google and the Russian Railways lets you take a trip along the famous route and see Baikal, Khekhtsirsky range, Barguzin mountains, Yenisei river and many other picturesque places of Russia without leaving your house. During the trip, you can enjoy Russian classic literature, brilliant images and fascinating stories about the most attractive sites on the route. Let's go!"
