Increased Transit via Sarakhs Rail Border

A total of 430,000 tons of commodities were transited from Sarakhs rail border in Khorasan Razavi Province to the neighboring Turkmenistan during the first 11 months of the current Iranian year (March 20, 2020-Feb. 18), registering a 9% increase compared with the similar period of last year.
“These consignments were transited by 10,000 wagons, which were mostly headed from Central Asian countries to Iran’s Bandar Abbas,” director general of Khorasan Railways, Mostafa Nasiri Varag, was quoted as saying by IRNA.
The main transit goods, he added, were sulfur and containers.
Some 1,400 kilometers of Iran’s 10,000 km of railroads are located in Khorasan Razavi Province in Iran’s northeast.
