To The Edge of the World: The Story of the Trans Siberian Railway

This expert lecture, presented by railway historian and author Christian Wolmar, retells the incredible story of the TransSiberian Railway, a remarkable feat of engineering, stimulated by imperial ambition and also a key part of Russian and, indeed, wider European and Asian history. The construction of a railway line results in all kinds of changes, expected and unexpected. In Siberia s case, the results have been extremes of both positive and negative, and while mistakes were undoubtedly made, this should not take away from what is a magnificent achievement.
