EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1906, showcases a stunning section of the historic Circum-Baikal Railway in Russia. The railway, which runs along the Northern shore of Lake Baikal's Southern extremity, is a marvel of engineering and transportation history. In this image, we see a viaduct that stands proudly 72 miles from Irkutsk. The Circum-Baikal Railway, built between 1899 and 1903, was an essential part of the Trans-Siberian Railway system, connecting Siberia with European Russia. This particular viaduct, with its intricate design and impressive scale, was built to traverse the rugged terrain and allow the railway to continue its journey along the lake's shoreline. The photograph, taken in the early 1900s, captures the essence of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich history of Russian transportation and engineering. The beauty of the natural surroundings, combined with the engineering prowess of the railway, makes this image a captivating reminder of the past and the remarkable feats that were achieved during this time.
