* BAM Railway route guide - covering the 3400km of mountain railway, closed until 1991, from north of Lake Baikal to the Pacific, with detailed information on how to take the train and what to see

Very informative March 7, 2006
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book contains very concise information about the route, cities and history. Such information is difficult to obtain in other books, and so very precious.
The book is also fun for train lovers to read.
