On the next season (starting February 15) The Amazing Race will have an episode on the TransSiberian Express. Don't know which one yet.
And now its not.By the way, why is this in the Amtrak forum?
I seriously doubt that they would cover a distance that would take more that a day. That would be a costly waste of production time.Since it takes more than a week to get from one side of Russia to the other, I expect some serious editing down if this episode is going to make an entire trans-Siberian journey fast and exciting
Minor correction: there is no such thing as the "TransSiberian Express." There's the Transsiberian Railway from Moscow to Vladivostok (and branches to Beijing, Ulan Bator, etc.), which is traversed by a wide variety of trains, but none of them are called "TransSiberian Express." Here's a map of the Transsiberian Railway and its main branches:

Crossing my fingers, hoping, praying, writing representatives (even told Sarah Palin in person that it was of great importance!)...anything that would make this happen in my lifetime!!you haven't heard about the Cascade extension to Fairbanks and thru the Bering tunnel to Moscow.

The premier regular service on that line from Moscow Yaroslavskaya to Vladivostok is Nos. 1 and 2 "Rossiya". I saw it standing there in all its glory when I arrived at the adjacent Oktobrskaya station one time several years back.Minor correction: there is no such thing as the "TransSiberian Express."
