Potential of Connecting Eurasia Through Trans-Siberian Railway

The unique geopolitical location of the Trans-Siberian Railway (TSR) plays the role of an international bridge connecting countries from different continents. First, are China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and Russia with the European Union. However, the transporting of containers involving the Russian transport system remains incompatible with deep sea route. The aim of this article is to identify the reasons for the absence of transit traffic on the TSR in order to offer the solutions. Analysis revealed the main bottleneck in the far eastern section of TSR. The improving cooperation between the Far Eastern Railway and far eastern seaports by applying a 'pulling' system for just in time operation in transport chain and using overseas experience in 'dry port' concept will provide economical and environmental benefits.
