Tsesarevich inaugurates Trans-Siberian Railway construction at Vladivostok

Tsarevich Nicholas inaugurated the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway in Vladivostok on 19 May 1891, marking the start of construction that continued until 1916.

The ceremony took place in Vladivostok, the eastern terminus of the projected railway. The tsesarevich, who later became Tsar Nicholas II, performed the inauguration. A legacy row records the date as 31 May 1891, but the supplied passage states 19 May 1891, which is retained. The Kuperovskaya district is a legacy-row hint only, not confirmed by supplied passages.
