Azerbaijani Railways (ADY) is preparing for the beginning of train traffic in the direction of Iran.

ADY chair Javid Gurbanov has stated that trains in the direction of Astara (Azerbaijan) - Astara (Iran) will begin to operate already starting from November.

"Also, a container terminal will be opened on the territory of Iranian Astara in November. The Azerbaijani side rented 35 hectares of land in the territory of Iranian Astara, where the 1.2 km long railroad was continued, two bridges built and the third bridge will be constructed. Totally four terminals (the grain, dry cargo, oil product and container ones) will be constructed here. Then we plan to rent another 27 hectares of land, and then multi-modal shipments from Iran will be carried out through the territory of Azerbaijan," Gurbanov said.
