Steel Ribbon Across Time: The Trans-Siberian Railway

A deep-dive into the Trans-Siberian Railway, the engineering marvel that stitched Russia across eight time zones. We explore its decade-long planning, the 62,000 workers, and the ice-breaking Baikal ferries that carried entire trains across Lake Baikal. From migrations and economic upheaval to war-time lifelines and modern rail routes (Trans-Manchurian, Trans-Mongolian, BAM), this episode reveals how a single railway reshaped a continent—and the world.
