SS Baikal was an ice-breaking train ferry that linked the eastern and western portions of the Trans-Siberian Railroad across Lake Baikal.
•
By June 1896 the icebreaker had been delivered for assembly to the village of Listvenichnoye.
•
Before the Circum-Baikal Railway was opened in 1905, Baikal, and later the Angara, carried two loads a day between piers at Baikal and Mysovaya.
