Stations along the way

In 1999 I got out an atlas and traced the longest continuous stretch of railroad track on earth. It went from the island of Singapore – out in the South Pacific, near the Equator – all the way above the Arctic Circle to a small fishing village in Norway.  In 2000 I took the trip:  30 trains, 15,000 miles, 60 days. Here are the stations. In order.
