This is the moment a train raced through what can only be described as the gates of hell in Russia.

Footage taken from the driver’s cabin shows flames from a surrounding inferno wrapping around the carriage.

The incident happened in the mountainous Muysky district in Siberia, which has been engulfed by wildfires.

A comment read: ‘The train’s next stop is Armageddon.’

Flames have been spreading from a forest near Baikal, the world’s deepest lake, for days.

The train was on the 2,687-mile Baikal-Amur Mainline, known as ‘the other great Siberian railway’, running north of the eastern section of the world famous Trans-Siberian route.

It is understood that some 30,000 hectares in the Muysky District, an area larger than Wales, have been caught in the fire.

There are complaints that Vladimir Putin is no longer able to contain the wildfires this summer because emergency teams have been sent to fight in his bloodshed in Ukraine.

People have been banned from entry into forests across Buryatia, a predominantly Buddhist region of Russia.

‘The fire situation in the republic is challenging, and that is why it is not allowed to visit forests,” said a source.

At least 49 regions of the country may face a wildfire risk in June due to warm and dry weather.
