How the route runs

Via

Sarakhs
Turkmenistan

Rail links Iran and Uzbekistan through Turkmenistan, meeting at Sarakhs. The gauge differs on the Iranian side, so the train is transferred at the border, as on the Chinese route.

What usually travels this way

Rail from Iran brings bulk cargo: polymers, sulphur and chemicals, metal, building materials, grain and processed goods — what is counted in wagons.

What to watch on this lane

The junction is at Sarakhs, where the gauge changes — the wagon is re-bogied, a separate operation with its own queue.
Beyond that the train runs on Turkmen and Uzbek track on one gauge, with no second change.
Chemicals and bulk need their own wagon types; availability is checked before a transit time is confirmed, not after.
SMGS documents cover transit through two countries: any inaccuracy stops the train at a border.
