Terminal of the Trans-Siberian Railway (Railroad) in Vladivostok, Russia, photographed circa 1920. Russia had for centuries sought adequate ports. The railway through Siberia gave Russia an efficient means of transporting goods to and from the Pacific Ocean area. "The Siberian railroad was built by the government (1891-1905) with money raised chiefly by issuing bonds to foreign investors." Click here to enlarge this image.
