After a few obligatory purchases and photos on the platform it is again: All aboard! Then we continue and we roll out of the station, first over to the new buildings of Krasnoyarsk, and then the railway bridge.
Christian makes us to a work site near the river closely. On a large area are agricultural machinery, especially combines. This work was one the largest in the former Soviet Union and built to combine the VEB to progress under license.
Then we roll over the bridge and marvel at the mighty Yenisey stretching, which is considered the most water Siberian current. Finally, we dive into the western foothills of the Sayan Mountains.
About seven hours we drive so - with a longer stop in Iljanskaja - to Taishet. Railway experts know: This is where the chaff from the wheat. The wimps go south to the Trans-Siberian Railway to Irkutsk, the tough guys but go north with the BAM. Well jokes aside, here in Taishet is the last station of common age-Trans-Siberian and BAM, the Baikal-Amur Mainline. After the train has left Taishet, one can very well see how the two rail lines to dig up, the Trans-Siberian Liene pans with multi-track pomp to the southeast, and the BAM-line modestly less traveled, and later single-track line edges away in the northeast.
BAM is different from the ancient Trans-Siberian Railway. One sees fewer places, little more agriculture, but a lot of taiga. The few places through which we roll, are usually only Holzverladestationen the forestry along the railway line.
This landscape will change to Bratsk little more and that will be around midnight. The giant dam of the Bratsk Hydropower Plant, we will then admire more in the dark can only see the lights of Bratsk will be reflected in the huge water reservoir.
