Project overview
This freight rail corridor between Turkmenistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan remains suspended overall: only the 88 km Atamyrat-Ymamnazar (Turkmenistan)-Akina (Afghanistan) first stage opened 28 Nov 2016 (later extended ~38km to Andkhoy, Jan 2021); the wider ~400km tri-national scheme (est. USD 2bn) has not progressed further — a feasibility study for the Tajik section (Jaloliddin Balkhi-Jayhun-Panji Poyon, ~51km) was only approved July 2024. Uses diesel traction and 1520mm Russian gauge.
