Our free country guides give you information on towns and cities to visit, local language information, travel and transport, weather and climate, festivals and events, and much more.  All of the countries listed are either on one of the railways itself - whether the Trans-Siberian Railway, Trans-Mongolian Railway, Trans-Manchurian Railway, Amur-Yakutsk Mainline or Baikal-Amur Mainline - or on a side-trip from any of these main routes.  Believe us, some side trips are very worthwhile!

We are still in the process of writing some of our country guides - those that are complete already have live links below.  We hope you find them useful!
