Baikal–Amur Mainline (1974–84)

On the Meiji Japan and post-Soviet Russia map as “The BAM”

1974–1984 — The Baikal–Amur Mainline was to be a second Siberian railway, more than 4,000 km long. Proclaimed “the project of the century”, it received its golden link in 1984. For years afterward, however, the line carried a fraction of its planned traffic.
