Trans Siberian Express longest rail ride on earth
UPI senior editor Robert Musel riders the Moscow Vladivostok line from Khabarovsk to Moscow aboard the Trans Siberian Express. The six day journey passes Siberia and European Russia with Bowie and fellow travelers aboard. The author notes brutal terrain, hard class cars, and porters who maintain bunks, tea, and cleanliness while vendors sell local fare at stations along the way. Bowie travels with Geoffrey MacCormack and expresses a love for trains over flying.
