In that case... <br /> <br />Amtrak "Lake Shore Limited" <br />Chicago Union-Boston Back Bay <br />(Don't you have to actually transfer to a different train at Albany now? I read something like that at a RR union site recently.) <br /> <br />Boston MBTA Orange Line <br />Back Bay-State <br /> <br />Boston MBTA Blue Line <br />State-Airport <br /> <br />Aer Lingus service (doesn't Delta or some other airline also fly this route?) <br />Boston Logan, USA-Shannon Airport, Ireland <br /> <br />Bus service <br />Shannon Airport-Limerick <br /> <br />Irish Railways <br />Limerick-Dublin Central (?) <br /> <br />Ferry service <br />Dublin, Ireland-Liverpool, UK <br /> <br />Virgin Trains <br />Liverpool Lime Street-London Euston <br /> <br />London Underground Victoria Line <br />Euston-Waterloo International <br />(Sometime in the next decade, it would be Kings Cross St. Pancras, since a new high-speed line is being built out of St. Pancras station for more direct, faster access to the Chunnel. It will also allow for better connections from northern England and Scotland.) <br /> <br />Eurostar <br />London Waterloo International, UK-Brussels Midi, Belgium <br /> <br />Later on, I believe you can also travel direct from Moscow through Mongolia and thence into China (requiring another gauge change) and Korea, where you can catch many ferries into Japan. (For ultimate rail mileage, you'd want to go to Pusan, at the very bottom of the Korean peninsula, then take a ferry to Fukuoka, Japan, from which you can ride a single train to Tokyo.) But I chose the Moscow-Vladivostok train because I don't know if there are any single trains from Moscow into China, or even Ulanbatar, Mongolia. <br />I'd go with the through Vladivostok train so that way I could at least have a night in Moscow. Novosibirsk doesn't sound like a place you'd want to spend much time.
