For travel or train buffs with a lot of time on their hands

In summary, the conversation discusses a website that features videos of the Trans-Siberian Railway shot from train windows. Each video has its own page and can be accessed through a link. The videos showcase both mundane and scenic sections, with the stretch past Lake Baikal being particularly stunning. The footage features the train approaching and skirting the lake, with the best scenery starting at around 16:45. Train enthusiasts are also directed to check out the locomotive shop at 13:40. Overall, the videos provide a relaxing and enjoyable viewing experience.

Videos of the entire Trans-Siberian Railway, shot out of train windows. Each video has its own YouTube page, which you can get to by clicking the link at the top left of the embedded videos, here or on the map page.

There are hours and hours of mind-numbing forests, of course, but there are also some very scenic sections. I suspected the stretch past Lake Baikal would be good, so I checked it out first.
