I don't like Russian Railways. Because for you it is very rare and unique experience. But I used to travel at least two times per year when I study at Vyborg College of Civil Aviation. I had to travel two times per year across whole European Russia from St. Petersburg first to Kishinev (present Republic of Moldova - my motherland), and then to Odessa (Ukraine), and then to Krymsk (Russia, Krasnodar area). It usually takes approx. 36-40 hours to travel one leg. And it may be interesting to go such way of travel first 12 hours, not more. One day and a half - it is too much for me. I leave train competely empty and very tired. My mother, by the way, travels from there to Siberia for 7 days every year. It is real feat. So, I used to travel such way for 10 years (3 years of studying and then when I worked at St Pete) and now I am completely full of trains :) Now I prefer aircraft :) - they are fast and convenient. And they give me my job, too :)
