TIME Asia: Asian Journey While America's trains chug along riderless and Europe's trains are packed with backpacking college students, Asia's trains serve as lifelines for local people in both remote areas and big cities. This Time magazine site explores the Asian continent by rail, from Pakistan to the Pacific with many stops in between. Start with the table of contents or simply poke around through the evocative essays and lush photographs. Travel the old silk roads from western China to Kazakhstan or take the trans-Siberian route from Beijing to Moscow. Discover how the legacy of the British Raj lives on in the iron horses that traverse the Indian subcontinent, almost connecting the warring states of India and Pakistan. From Burma to Vietnam, through South Korea and Japan, and across the expanses of China, Asia is defined by the wonders and the horrors that trains have brought into people's daily lives. This site is a first-class ticket to view a continent on the move. (in Recreation and Sports > Travel Photos)
