Car carriers are the most common way to deliver cars from one region to another. But this service for individuals is not cheap. You can, of course, get there on your own, but then, for example, it will take more than a week to travel from Vladivostok to Moscow.
Taking into account the increased demand for cars from the Middle Kingdom, as well as the existing opportunities to purchase cars in Japan, Russian Railways, as an experiment, launched car carriers as part of the Vladivostok-Moscow passenger train.
