About the route
The Trans-Siberian Railway runs about 9,300 km from Moscow to Vladivostok, crossing seven time zones. Travellers usually break the journey in Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Irkutsk (for Lake Baikal) and Ulan-Ude before the long run to the Pacific.
This template uses the Train transport, with a smooth line that sweeps between the main stations. Add pauses at the cities where you got off, put a photo print at Lake Baikal, and let the camera glide from a close start over Moscow to a wide view over the whole continent.

- Try the glide camera: a tight start shot over Moscow and a wide end shot of all of Russia.
