I don't know where it is, but the video on the trip on the Tibet Railway was magnificent and educative.

Including knowing how the train is pressurised to avoid the problems of High Altitude and how the Chinese overcame the problem of permafrost!

Maybe some Chinese poster can post the video.

I have seen that Video. It was from Discovery Channel. I believe that is what you are talking about. YouTube took it down. I cannot find it anymore.

Kamchatka Adventure

Kamchatka
Kamchatka Peninsula (полуо́стров Камча́тка) comes under Kamchatka Krai (Камча́тский край).

Kamchatka Peninsula in the far east of Russia. The pink area is the Kamchatka Krai which includes some of the mainland to the north.



P.S.: Russia's largest submarine base is located here, near the administrative capital Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.
