OzMan, I am so jealous. I was supposed to do Moscow to Nahodka (Vladivostok was still a closed city) in 1998, after I wrapped up four months of Russian study at the Moscow Steel and Alloy Institute. But my travel agent "forgot" to book my tickets after many assurances (I assume he booked them and and then resold them to somebody willing and able to offer a premium). I didn't have the money or skill or vlyat to get it fixed, so I had to fly home. :-(
It's one of my main regrets in life that I couldn't make that trip happen. I expect to still do it one day, but it won't be the adventure it would have been in late Soviet times.
