As far as I know, there are no cross-border trains from Urumqi to Moscow in Russia. But you can go to Beijing to take Train K19 or K03. The trip is very long. It takes about one week to get to Moscow.

I am planning to do this journey in August. There is a train from Urumqi to Almaty and trains from Almaty to Moscow. However, different people are giving different details, in particular the train number, for the train to Almaty. If anyone knows the defininte details for this train (leaving on 1st August from Urumqi) that would help me.
