Trans-Sib Railway as Depicted in Literature

[Emily Saunders]

There is a most vivid description of traveling on the Turk-Sib in the  
30's in Fitzroy Maclean's book "Eastern Approaches."  Not strictly  
Trans-Sib, but very a very good read.

In terms of non-fiction, Vera Panova's "Poezd" comes to mind about a  
WWII hospital train.  Most of it takes place on the Western Front, but  
I do believe that there is a section where they head towards  
Novosibirsk.
