Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Siberian Railway From St. Petersburg to Pekin The Siberian Railway open for traffic stands as the first great enterprise of the twentieth century. Built by order of the late Czar Alexander, the Russians have rolled out its long ribbons of steel until they have dropped the ends into the waters of the Pacific Ocean at Vladivostok and at Port Arthur. As they have moved eastward they have thrown out branch lines on the south towards Turkestan, on the north into the wilderness of Siberia. The traveller to-day may enter at Moscqw a train more luxurious and comfortable than any other in the world, and it is possible to roll that train into Port Arthur. However, this is not done as yet, as the eastern sections of the road are scarcely ready for it, and Lake Baikal must be crossed upon either the ice or the ice-breaker as the season demands. It will be years before the rails will be laid around that lake, years of very difficult work and entailing enormous expenses, but it will be done at last, and then this railway will take its place amongst the most important works of the world. To my thinking it has already done so. The following pages are the record of my journey over the line last spring from Petersburg to Pekin, with a detour to Korea.
