9288 km Milestone, Distance marker monument near Railway Station, Vladivostok, Russia

The 9288 km Milestone is a stele on the platform of Vladivostok railway station, standing where a standard kilometre post once marked the 9288th kilometre. It marks the end of the Trans-Siberian Railway. The station building around it was rebuilt between 1991 and 1996.

The stele was erected in 1996 during the reconstruction of Vladivostok railway station, which lasted from 1991 to 1996. It replaced a standard kilometre post that had stood at the same spot on the platform. A matching post with a zero mark stands at Yaroslavsky station in Moscow, marking the start of the Trans-Siberian Railway.

The marker shows the link between European Russia and the Far East, something visitors can see when they reach the endpoint of the Trans-Siberian Railway. It represents how important this rail route was for connecting distant regions of the country.

The stele stands on the platform of Vladivostok railway station, on the spot where the standard 9288 km post once stood, so it is reached from inside the station rather than from the street. Look for it while waiting on the platform.

The milestone marks one of the longest continuous train journeys in the world that crosses a single country. This spot is a symbol of Russia's vast geographical expanse from west to east.
