The famous Russian Trans-Siberian railway is to get a record breaking 579.4 billion rubles (roughly £7 billion) makeover.
Turning 100 year old last year, the railway line is to be modernised and updated as it connects Russia with the Far East, China, Mongola and North Korea.
It will also modernise the Baikal-Amu line which passes between Siberia and the Far East.
According to Reuters, this years amount approved by the Russian government is the largest amount since at least 2010.
It was first built between 1891 and 1916 under Tsar Alexander III.
His son, Tsar Nicolas II then took over the building of it that was under the supervision of ministers.
The train spans a whopping eight time zones over 9,289km, making it the longest railway in the world.
However the train isn’t just for tourists to use when travelling.
It actually provides around 30 per cent of exports around Russia, as well as domestic passengers being the main users of the train.
By 2030, the state owned railway hopes to create 20,000km of new track, as well as update existing tracks.
It could also create more industrial zones connected on the train lines, which, along with other plans, will increase the rail network by 24 per cent.
Many visitors using the Train-Siberian train stop at Baikal to see the famous Lake Baikal.
Lake Baikal is a UNESCO world heritage site due to being home to 3,6 plant and animal species, as well as being 23 per cent of the worlds fresh surface water.
Yet the deepest lake in the world is under threat, with fish species dying out and putrid algae growing in it.
A ban has since been put on all commercial fishing from the lake to try and curb the problem before it becomes irreversible.
Despite this, experts believe that the problem is due to climate change.
