Trains in Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan
Posted by MontRailLink on Tuesday, February 26, 2008 12:33 PM

Anyone know what types/HP of engines are used in the railroads of Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan?  Also, any idea of the controlling grades going from these countries towards Pakistan & Afghanistan?  I'm a model railroader and am being asked how many tank cars a typical Uzbekistan/Turkmenistan locomotive can be expected to pull in this situation.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

     You might try posting this over on the Trains Magazine forum.  It has a lot more activity, and a wide range of knowledgable railfans.
