With a length of 9,289 km or 5,772 miles, it is the world's longest railway line, running from Moscow to Vladivostok on the Pacific Ocean. Since 1916, the Trans-Siberian Railway has provided a direct link between Moscow and Vladivostok.

As of 2021, the railway system is still expanding, with connecting rails heading to Asia. There are also plans to build bridges between the mainland and the islands of Sakhalin and Hokkaido to connect Tokyo, Japan's capital, to the railway.
