🇲🇳 MONGOLIA Adventures on Soviet Railways

Welcome to the grand country of Mongolia! Today we tour the Ulaanbaatar Railway Station and discover the Soviet history here.

In 1949, the Soviet Union and Mongolia created a pact to build the Trans Mongolian Railway, a rail connection between Beijing and Moscow, through Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. This railway connection vaulted Mongolia into the modern age and today we're right back where it all started. There’s so many Soviet Steam Locomotives to spot here!
