Question

Describe how the builders of the trans-siberian railroad had to adapt to the physical environment.

Answer 1

Answer:

The construction camps were beset with malaria, cholera, and starvation. The ties and some bridges were made of immature green wood that buckled and created maintenance headaches all along the 5,772-mile route – about a fourth of the circumference of the earth – that would not be tied together until 1901.Originally, in the east, the Russians secured Chinese permission to build a line directly across Manchuria (the Chinese Eastern Railway) from the Transbaikal region to Vladivostok; this trans-Manchurian line was completed in 1901. ...It allowed people to reach the remote regions and exploit Siberia's natural resources.
