Border Crossings: Azerbaijan - Iran
From EGTRE
(Nakhichevan -) Julfa/Culfa ADDY - Jolfa IRIR (- Tabriz)
[D] This crossing links only to the Azerbaijani enclave of Nakhichevan. One daily freight train runs between Iran and the northern border of the enclave.
(Osmanli -) Astara ADDY - Astara IRIR (- Rasht - Qazvin)
[D] Freight only. This 10 km long dual gauge (1520/1435 mm) border crossing was officially commissioned on 25 December 2017 and opened to traffic on 29 March 2018. At present it is a dead end branch: construction of the Rasht - Astara IRIR line is expected to be completed in 2020. Astara ADDY will be equipped with bogie changing facilities and probably also an SUW 2000 gauge changer.
