Perm => Moscow (1895)?

Tue May 29 08:51:56 UTC 2012

Dear colleagues:

A former student sends along this query (below).  Perhaps some smart
late-19th c. scholar among us could help her out.  Responses directly to her
could sent to ngantshar at aol.com.

Many thanks in advance, Nancy 

<<.  I am working on a production of The Three Sisters. I'm wondering if you
could put me in touch with someone who could answer a question.  We're
wondering how long it would have taken someone to travel from Perm to Moscow
in 1895.  I know the trip takes 23 1/2 hours today.  Any clues?>>
