First trains run on the Circum-Baikal shore line

node

The shore route around the southwestern end of Lake Baikal carries its first trains in September 1904, war having accelerated its completion, and is brought into permanent operation in October 1905. It is the most heavily engineered section of the whole railway — a near-continuous run of tunnels, galleries and retaining walls along cliffs that fall straight into the lake — and it closes the last gap in the original through route.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
