5.0 out of 5 stars Rail in Russia down to the smallest details, October 27, 1999

By	Alessandro Maccari "abollore" (Rome, Italy) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book explores the main railways that stretch into the former Soviet territory, with the exception of the mysterious BAM railway, treated in a separate book. The amount of details makes the reader wonder how many lives the author has spent travelling along all the routes he describes! A must for planning a trip to Russia. Unfortunately, maps do not live up to the general level of the book. Anyway, buy it!
