65 Hours from the World’s Coldest City (–64°C) on a Sleeper Train | Yakutsk – Vladivostok

Video Description

Hello from Russia! 🇷🇺 Today, we travel 65 hours from the world’s coldest city, Yakutsk, where we experienced –40°C (–40°F), all the way to Vladivostok. This is an extreme sleeper train journey across Russia. Our winter train journey is operated by the Yakutian Railway (ZhDYa) along the Amur–Yakutsk Mainline (AYaM), and for a stretch, we travel on the Baikal–Amur Mainline (BAM). We ride in a third-class sleeper (Platzkart) from remote Siberia to the Russian Far East, where we connect with the legendary Trans-Siberian Railway, experiencing some of the most epic rail travel in the world. Enjoy the ride! • Thank you to our channel members • Roland Gharfine - Jorge Oliveira - Clay Gilliland - Per Erik Akerjordet (Norseman) - soundman - RN - Thomas Sanderson - Paulus™️ - Zoltán Bodrogi - Ruben Dario Machado López - suman Dhara - Grandma Bente - Потяги України - Tom Roscher - Laura Caceres Peralta 👉 Planning a trip to Russia?
