The Trans-Siberian Railway runs 5,772 miles between Moscow and Vladivostok, and takes eight days to complete the journey. The original bridge over the Amur, the Khabarovsk Bridge, was 1.5 miles long, and was built in 1916, but it was reconstructed as a road and rail bridge nearly 2.5 miles long in 1999.

The Amur is the operative clue. But since it is outside the U.S…….idk, should be something everybody gets right, but that’s the European in me talking. I am rooting for Joe to make it into the ToC.
With “World Transportation” being the category I say everybody left for FJ WILL get it. It is really a “gimme”. More like a “Friday” clue. Anyway, whoever leads before FJ will win, barring an outlandish/unusual wager.

Two players missed what you call a “gimme” clue, so your next exercise at predicting is figuring out their non-identical incorrect guesses.

  Well, as I said: the European in me was too optimistic…..

  @Mark
  
  Actually I tried to come up with a possible wrong answer but short of somebody drawing a blank I could not think of one…Btw, “Orient Express” is actually a misnomer since the Istanbul terminal was on the European side of the city.
  And knowing where the Amur is, “Orient Express” or RGV never entered my mind.
