The train will be stopping in Vilnius. I have been told that this train does NOT go through Belarus and have been told it does. Does anyone know which is correct? I need to know since I need to get a Belarus Visa. I plan on taking thePolenza #9 express from Moscow to Warsaw a week later and already need a transit visa for that trip. Should I get a double entry visa?

There is a small chance your train will go through Belarus (see a map here - http://waytorussia.net/Transport/International/TrainSchedules.html ), so if you will be getting one anyway, get the second one too. Otherwise you risk getting off the train on Belarus border which is not a very good (but maybe exciting!) experience.

There are two connections daily: a direct night train Warszawa - Vilnius and a day connection which involves changing trains at the border. From Vilnius you can continue to St. Petersburg (but while you're there, check out the city; Vilnius is beautiful and pleasant!)
