Found this link in a german article.

http://www.google.ru/intl/ru/landing/transsib/

It offers an endless stream of videos almost without interruption that were filmed watching out of the window of a train of the Trans-Sibirian Railway, from Moscow and then on and on and on as if you were sitting by the window. Train position always marked in the map below.

Not more, not less it is.

Edit:
They have a nostalgia train voyage on offer in South Africa, in a train run by a steam locomotive, with imperial design in the compartment, yopu can book the three day tour like a cabin on an ocean luxury liner. the tour is designed to be run like in the old days. I saw a two parts docu on it on TV last year, and found it fascinating. A stream from that train I possibly wpuld watch from A to Z, all three days long, just watching the landscape!
