after traversing thousands of kilometres pulled by modern electric locomotives, a Soviet-vintage steam locomotive takes over at Lake Baikal. Guests are able to climb the walkways of the electric locomotive, now at the rear of the train, and capture timeless scenes as the steam engine chuffs its way around the lake’s edge, the sun rising high across the waters, while locals wave from their lakeside dachas, or summer houses.
