The woeful cry emanating from the wilderness. wailing in the wind like the βąղʂհҽҽ is " the impossibilities of Germans transporting and accommodating millions of people without leaving any evidence".
From all accounts there is a plethora of evidence of many people being transported to the borders but rarely beyond by rail. At the start of the first Warsaw ghetto uprising 1943, youth were transported to the Bobruysk judenlager near Minsk; it was originally claimed they were all executed at Treblinka.
It is known that hundred of thousands of Jews were transported to Belarus and Latvia from many parts of Europe; of course it is claimed these people by passed the AR camps, they must have done as they were not executed. This circular statement seems to be lost on the proponents of AR camps being centers of extermination.
At times everyone got the gas (according to the proponents of extermination), at other times only the useless eaters got it; who got what depends on what is being argued at the time. There is however, other threads to discuss the alleged atrocities at AR camps and their real purpose, whatever it was.
The Bug river, the original boundary between Soviet and German spheres of influence was the destination point, it had to be considering it was an international border controlled by Zollgrenzschutz and Grenzpolizei. (customs and border police).
There are records of transports of people to the Bialystok region and to Minsk but not much elsewhere in the same region. The reasons are not hard to figure out. there were no effective railways due to partisan activity.

It is well known that inmates had to walk to various destinations. :
Considering the rail mayhem the partisans caused there would be a valid reason why rail transports did not venture into Ostland, with the Bug being a destination point. Bialystok was accessible by rail and so was Minks through Bialystok and Brest.
European rail network 1940
While blown up tracks can be easily repaired the bridges could not be. Transporting any trains to northern Poland, Belarus and Latvia would be fraught with extreme danger. To the partisans, people killed on trains during their operations would just be collateral damage, of little consequence.

From June 1941 to July 1944, Belarusian partisans assassinated about 500,000 members of the German military and their local collaborators, undermined and derailed 11,128 enemy trains and 34 armored trains, destroyed 29 railway stations and 948 headquarters and garrisons, blasted, burned and destroyed 819 rail and 4,710 other bridges, destroyed more than 7,300 kilometers of phone and telegraph lines.
