1. Story
2. The Amur line from Sretensk to Khabarovsk, built after the Russo-Japanese War demonstrated the danger of depending on the Manchurian shortcut, gives the Trans-Siberian a through route lying entirely within Russian territory. It is a second railway across ground the first had deliberately avoided — colder, harder, partly permafrost — and it is built anyway, because the cost of the terrain turned out to be smaller than the cost of the border.

45. Evidence
46. Gives the Moscow–Vladivostok distance as 9,288 km (5,771 miles), the world's longest single rail system, inaugurated 1891 and completed in sections to 1916, with electrification finished in 2002. V55 verification basis: the substance was carried in an attributed search result naming Britannica; the page itself could not be fetched, as britannica.com is refused by this environment's egress proxy.
47. Supports the construction-stage sequence (West Siberian, Central Siberian, South Ussuri, Circum-Baikal and Amur), the 1891 announcement and Vladivostok inauguration, the Baikal ferry arrangement and the settlement motive. V55 verification basis: the collection essay was identified as an authority and its substance encountered in summary; loc.gov could not be fetched in this session.
