Shuttle services between Russia and Iran
RZD Logistics has introduced a regular container train between Russia and Iran. The import/export shuttle runs along the North-South transit corridor in eastern Russia.
The train starts in Chekhov, south of Moscow (Russia), and travels via Kazakhstan first to Sarakhs in Turkmenistan.
Here, the containers are reloaded from a 1,520 mm broad gauge to a 1,435 mm standard gauge and then continue by rail to the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas, where they are transferred to ships for onward transport by sea.
On the way back, the train carries imported goods for the Russian Federation. RZDL announced that the regular container train will run initially once a month. (ben)
