Trans-Siberian Railway ...History! The Trans-Siberian Railway took 25 years to build, from 1891 to 1916. The Trans-Siberian Railway reduced the journey from 11 months to two weeks. The Trans-Siberian Railway, at over 9000km and 8 time zones, is the single longest railway line in the world. ⬇️ More info below ⬇️
- The Trans-Siberian Railway’s construction began when future Tsar Nicholas II emptied a wheelbarrow of soil in Vladivostok.
- The Trans-Siberian Railway was built to (1) gain natural resources, (2) ease overpopulation in European Russia, and (3) the fear of Chinese invasion.
- The Trans-Siberian Railway saw coal, grain, and timber move east to west, whilst migrants, soldiers, and tourists moved west to east.
- Today, there are three additional routes: Trans-Manchurian, Trans-Mongolian, and the Baikal-Amur Mainline.
