Question - 287

Where is this marker located? What is the significance of the number on it?

Answer: This is the end of the Trans-Siberian railway at Vladivostok. The number on the marker is the distance the trail travels from Moscow to Vladivostok. Srivats, Schmetterling, Hari, Iam, Renuka, Raghu, Vetti, Swapnaa, Adi, Rajesh and Anshul got it. Well done.

This is the marker for kilometer 9,288, at the end of the Trans-Siberian line in Vladivostok (as from the commonly used route of train No.002M, Moscow-Vladivostok). From 1956 to 2001 many trains went between Moscow and Kirov via Yaroslavl instead of Nizhny Novgorod. This would add some 29 km to the distances from Moscow, making Vladivostok Kilometer 9,288.At 9,288 kilometres , it spans a record 7 time zones and is the third-longest single continuous service in the world.
