1- Sarkhas-Tajn railway, which was Iran’s first step in 1375 to access Central Asian countries with the Persian Gulf and other regions of the world. The construction of the Bafaq railway to Mashhad in 1384 practically brought Central Asia closer to the Persian Gulf.
2- The Gorgan-Inchebron railway line (part of the Iran-Turkmenistan-Kazakhstan-Russia railway route) has the ability to carry, transfer cargo and transit goods to northern countries and Eurasia.
According to the consultation and agreement between Iran, Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan, a part of Golestan province’s exports to these countries will be carried out through the rail line and from the Inchebarun border. This rail transport route has the ability to send goods to Russia through Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan.
