How the route runs
Via
- Alat
- Farap
- Turkmenabat
One gauge the whole way — no transhipment at the border, the wagon runs from the dispatch station to the destination station. The junction is at Farap, and the line continues to Turkmenabat and Ashgabat. Rail is noticeably steadier than road here: it depends far less on vehicle entry permits and on the queue at the crossing.
What usually travels this way
Rail from Turkmenistan brings petrochemicals and polymers in tanks and covered wagons, mineral fertiliser, sulphur, salt, building materials, cotton fibre.
What to watch on this lane
- The gauge is shared and nothing is transhipped — the wagon runs station to station, and this leg is steadier than the road one.
- Rail depends far less on vehicle entry permits, so on this lane it is often more predictable than a truck.
- Liquids and bulk need tanks and hoppers — availability is checked ahead, as they are taken up in season.
- Dangerous goods are documented separately by rail: the hazard class is settled before the application is filed.
