Krasnovodsk
Trans-Caspian Railway (also called the Central Asian Railway), is a railway that follows the path of the Silk Road through much of western Central Asia. It was built by the Russian Empire during its expansion into Central Asia in the 19th century. During the Soviet period and beyond, the road was administrated from Tashkent.
