Traveling from Moscow to Ulan Bataar on the Trans-Siberian is 101 hours and 3,893 miles (6,266 kilometers). As a point of reference, driving Highway 80 from San Francisco to New York City is only 2,905 miles.
There’s a lot that happens in those four days… and very little that goes on. What follows are a collection of randomly arranged photos from our time on the train.

Hi Connal and Anjel,
Connal’s mom shared your blog with me, and I’ve only looked at a few posts, but they are great! I especially like the pictures. The Trans-Siberian Express is something I would love to do. Your post is probably the closest I’ll ever get to it, so thanks so much for sharing!
Safe travels,
Kate (Carter) Wilson
Is that a volkswagon bus in one of the photos?
If you’re referring to the sunset photo of the van waiting at the train tracks, it’s not a VW. It’s a Russian van that you see absolutely everywhere in both Russia and Mongolia. We’ve seen them as outfitted for civilian use, as military models, and even as ambulances. Just Google “Russian Van” and you’ll get a huge collection of photos.
