The Baikal-Amur Mainline (BAM) is a 1,520 mm (4 ft 11+27⁄32 in) broad-gauge railway line in Russia. Traversing Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East, the 4,324 km (2,687 mi)-long BAM runs about 610 to 770 km (380 to 480 miles) north of and parallel to the Trans-Siberian Railway. A portion of the eastern route was the work of Gulag prisoners during the years 1944–1946. However, the majority of the line was built between 1972 and 1984.
