Russia’s Other Trans Siberian Railway – The Unknown BAM!

Hello from Russia! 🇷🇺 Often called the "other Trans-Siberian Railway," the Baikal-Amur Mainline ( BAM ) runs parallel to its more famous sibling — but cuts through even more rugged, untouched landscapes of Siberia and the Russian Far East.
Today, we’re riding a Russian train on an epic 25-hour journey across one of the most remote and legendary railways in the world.
We’ll travel from Lake Baikal in Severobaykalsk to Tynda — the unofficial capital of the BAM — in a classic Russian platzkart (third-class sleeper), experiencing life aboard one of the most isolated railway lines on Earth.
Enjoy the ride!
