Best Answer

It started to be constructed in 1891 and construction took until 1904. But the Japanese invaded Russia and when they did, a section of the railway was ruined. To rebuild this piece, it took and extra 12 years, meaning it took 25 years to build because of interruptions. The reason it was built is most likely for trade or travel. The czars(rulers) also wanted a fancy way to get around.
