.irk.ru/Eng/index.htm”>Here (via Metafilter) is a website devoted to the Circum-Baikal railway – “a golden clasp on the steel girdle of the Russian empire”. It’s all quite charming, from the postcard-style photo gallery, including a huge collection of pictures of old stations (this is lovely), to the quirky translations: “Through numerous water obstacles on Circum-Baikal railway it was built both standard bridges and graceful viaducts. The viaduct over Bol’shaya Krutaya Guba river: in the beginning of summer it looks so“.
I can only echo the sentiments expressed on the main page:
This site devotes to the wonderful Circum-Baikal railway. Here you can receive the most full and authentic informations about it to learn its past and present. The large collection of exlusive photos will help to you to feel spirit of this railway, to make virtual excursion under it.
