Trans-Siberian Railway travel guide - The Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) (PDF Chapter) Lonely Planet
Most people know the Trans-Siberian Railway, but how many can say they’ve heard of the ‘other’ Trans-Sib, its poor country cousin, the BAM (Baikal-Amur Mainline or Baikalo-Amurskaya Magistral)? The branch line to end all branch lines, the BAM begins as a set of points at Tayshet and ends more than 4200 lonely kilometres further east at Sovetskaya Gavan, passing through some jaw-slackeningly off-the-map places en route. As great railway journeys go, this is a Soviet epic, a rail-clanging odyssey you’ll never forget.
Coverage includes: Bratsk, Severobaikalsk & Around, Tynda, Komsomolsk-na-Amure.
