 Trans-Aral Railway

The Trans-Caspian railway ( Russian Закаспийская железная дорога , transkr. Sakaspijskaja schelesnaja doroga , transl. Zakaspijskaâ železnaâ doroga ) was a former railway company in Central Asia and is also the name of one erected by her railway that today Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan joins.

history

Arrival of the first train in Samarkand

Construction of the line began in 1880 under the direction of the Russian General Michail Annenkow . The first section between the Caspian Sea and Kyzyl-Arwat (today: Serdar) was built by 1885 . Between 1885 and 1888 the extension of the line to Samarkand was completed. The main line was extended in 1903 via Samarkand to Tashkent , which in turn was connected to the all-Russian route network in 1905/1906 via the Trans-Aral Railway via Orenburg .

Geographical location

Trunk line

Türkmenbaşy railway station

The Trans-Caspian Railway connects Türkmenbaşy on the Caspian Sea with Balkanabat , Serdar , Aschchabad , Mary , Baýramaly , Türkmenabat , Kattakurgan , Samarkand and Tashkent .

Location in the network

Farap 1911, today's border station between Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan

In 1900 the main line was supplemented by a branch line from Mary to Kuschka on the border with Afghanistan .

In 1930, during the Soviet era , the Trans-Caspian Railway built a branch line via Termiz to Dushanbe ( Tajikistan ). A line was then built from Termiz to Mazar-e Sharif in Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan War .

The West Turkmen Magistrale , which leads via Urganch to beinu , flows into Turkmenabat . It is part of the connection route via Maqat and Atyrau to Astrakhan in Russia .

In Bereket, the Schangaösen – Etrek (transnational north-south corridor), which opened in December 2014, crosses the Trans-Caspian Railway, a new line that begins in Schangaösen in western Kazakhstan and leads to Gorgan in Iran . It is mainly used to transport oil and grain.
