Review
The Trans-Siberian Rail Guide details all the major routes: Trans-Siberian, Trans-Mongolian, and Trans-Manchurian; and their natural branches and extensions: Central Asia and the Silk Route, Indo-China, North Korea and Alaska (via the Russian Far East). Fully up-to-date with the rapidly changing scene in Russia, The Trans-siberian Rail Guide includes European, Asian and North American gateways, and easy-to-follow strip maps of the railway route. Also featured are numerous tips on officialdom, security, money, climate, food, essential phrases in Russian, Chinese and Mongolian, along with travellers' anecdotes from the turn of the century to the present day. The Trans-siberian Rail Guide is essential for any rail traveler in that part of the world, and a wonderful addition to any railfan's reference book collection! -- Midwest Book Review

Trans-Siberian Rail Guide,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Trans-Siberian rail guide (Paperback)
Published in 1987, much of the information is out of date. However, there are many good itinerary suggestions and travel tips as well as previous travel comments from years ago that are entertaining and informative.
For an excellent account of history, personal profiles and recent traveling across Russia, I recommend "Russia - A Journey to the Heart of a Land and its People" by Jonathan Dimbleby.
