The railway is often associated with the main transcontinental Russian line that connects hundreds of large and small cities of the European and Asian parts of Russia. Moscow–Vladivostok distance is 9,289 kilometres (5,772 miles) and it spans a eight time zones. Taking eight days to complete the journey without stopping and going on side trips, it is the third-longest single continuous service in the world.
