On the very first day in Dushanbe, sitting in a cafe for a portion of kurutob, I saw a news report on TV. There were trains, bridges and tunnels, mountains and gorges, flags and, of course, President Emomali Rahmon. Although I did not know Tajik, the essence of the report was clear - a new railway was launched. Before the trip, I knew that the new railway line to the Ferghana Valley () was ready for the opening of Uzbekistan, but it turned out that the Tajiks did not lose time, a week before the neighbors finished their "construction of the century", connecting Dushanbe with Kurgan-Tyube and Kulyab. I arrived on Thursday August 25th, and that day the train rode the president along the new railway. On Sunday, as I learned at the station, the first public passenger flight was scheduled.
The old narrow gauge railway and the new line have nothing in common: the first went strictly south from Dushanbe, the second - strictly south from Vahdat. On the east side, the Dushanib agglomeration ends much faster than on the west:
Ahead - the mountains. Their height reaches 1300 meters above sea level, but by the standards of Tajikistan it is too small to give them a separate name:
But in the mountains - shepherds:
And small pack caravans go not only in Afghanistan:
The path looks flimsy and laid out haphazardly, resembling either a narrow gauge railway or an industrial branch. Apparently, there are simply some other standards and dimensions - the train did not go fast, but quite smoothly:
And they looked at us, waved their hands, sometimes they shouted something, it seems everyone they met:
-There’s going something (....) like a kitchen on wheels, and drags a whole city!"(c)" One hundred years of solitude. "From the car window it is strange to watch, for example, how two teenagers ride a donkey for water:
Behind the first ridge, villages again reached out:
Station Bahor (translated as Spring) is the only one on the new site:
Up the mountains is a cement factory with concrete mixers lined up in a row. The head of the train told me how the Chinese helped build this line, and how new production facilities appeared along with the railway.
Ahead - the first tunnel with a length of 2,340 meters under the Sultanabad pass - not very high (the nearby peaks barely reach 1,400 meters), but too steep for the train. There are 5 bridges and 3 tunnels in the new section, and this one is the longest:
Behind the tunnel, you can see the descent from the pass, giant banners with slogans directly on the mountain slopes, a green village with the zabutny name Tutbuloki-Sarisang at the bottom of the valley and Yavan visible in the haze:
The hieroglyph of the path is so complicated that "on the ground" directions and landmarks are quickly lost, but it can be appreciated at Wikimapia. The train goes through deep grooves:
And after a couple of tunnels 680 and 735 meters long:
A view of the same path from below, through the most natural gates of Khatlon, on which, only in the direction of travel, the title frame was also shot. You can see the longest bridge on the new line and its embankment higher on the slope:
And in general, comparing the Angren-Pap and Vahdat-Yavan railways, I can say that the Uzbek one is certainly an order of magnitude more complicated and interesting in the technical sense, three times longer and twice as high, but the Tajik one is not inferior to it in picturesqueness, and the profile is like wouldn’t be more difficult - climb and descent are much faster.
And the TalKo stele in the title shot is not accidental. Behind the pass there is an industrial Yavan - a large village (33 thousand inhabitants), actually rather a city (for some reason Tajikistan is extremely stingy with this status), which grew in the 1960s at the end of the railway stretched here from Termez. Even from the pass in the opening of the rocks, the structures of the cement factory built by the Chinese flickered,
The Javanese Electrochemical Plant, launched in the 1960s, was destroyed by the Civil War, and is now also being restored with the help of China. But it was precisely for his sake that a new line was actually built: here, raw materials are obtained from ore for the aluminum plant in Tursunzade, the real breadwinner of the republic, which in the best years gave up to 80% of its exports. However, old Karimov knew where to hit: by blocking the Yavan-Termez line, he broke this production chain, leaving the plant without a main source of raw materials, and the industrial giant began to die before our eyes - by 2015 its load dropped from 90 to 30%, about the same its share in Tajik exports also declined. It is this threat of economic catastrophe that is more serious for Tajikistan than for Russia than the embargo on oil, and pushed the country into the arms of China. Now the plant comes to life, and this has its own morality about the futility of various sanctions, embargoes, infrastructure blockades and trade wars: sooner or later they will find an alternative, but the hatred from the experience experienced during the search will remain ... Unusual for the former USSR, multi-storey shops without walls look unusual , but only with a frame of beams:
What for Karimov, what for Rakhmon, the construction of new railroads was not at all a whim: the Angren-Pap line connected a third of the population and the largest agricultural region of Uzbekistan with the center, and the Vahdat-Yavan line connected the main industrial complex in Tajikistan. So even if the train I was traveling on has already been canceled, it does not mean anything - first of all, a new freight line. On the day of my trip at Yavan station, the stage and the canopy over the stands were not yet dismantled, where authorities and journalists met the presidential train three days earlier.
And we went down to Khatlon, opening straight to Afghanistan and probably in some ways similar to it. Hot, dusty, but abundant, and yet frighteningly alien land:
Khatlon region in Tajikistan is the smallest and most crowded - more than 2.5 million people live here. It began with the Kulyab (1939) and Kurgan-Tyubinsk (1944) regions, respectively abolished in 1955 and 1947 and re-created in 1977 and 1973. In 1988, they were again united not with the central region, but only with each other in the Khatlon region , named after the ancient land of Huttal, a rich province that replaced the ancient Bactria of Tokharistan. The last time the two regions were separated in 1991-92 was literally for several months. The official center of Khatlon is Kurgan-Tyube, but the actual one is Kulyab as the birthplace of the ruling clan.
Most of Khatlon is a dusty desert, sun-survived, along which the fertile valleys of Kafirnigan, Vakhsh and Surkhob and low soft ridges between them stretch in narrow stripes. But a sign of the local stations (on the right is a typical train station) - water tankers on the first path:
Khatlon in Tajikistan was the center of both civil wars of the twentieth century: in the 1920s, the Basmachi fought here for a long time, and that war devastated the region, many of whose residents left the power of the atheists in Afghanistan. The indigenous inhabitants of its steppes were the Lokai - a warlike tribe of nomadic Uzbeks living on both sides of the Amu Darya, and the villages and cities inhabited by real Arabs - within Islamic civilization, it was a global people, their communities are not uncommon in the farthest corners of the former Caliphate, and in one There are several tens of thousands of Arabs living in Central Asia, whose older generation has not forgotten their native language in one of two dialects not understood by each other - Kashkadarya (with Uzbek influence) and Bukhara (with Tajik, as here). In Soviet times, Tajiks and Uzbeks were also brought here, partly from the north (to the Kulyab region), partly from the impoverished Karategin (to the Kulyab-Tyube region), thus obtaining a terribly explosive mixture that again exploded from the shock caused by the collapse of the USSR. It seems to me that Khatlon looks like Afghanistan - a beggar, patriarchal, restless, not delimited ... I don’t know whose cemetery with ram skulls at the peaks fell into the frame, but I venture to assume that the Lokai:
Outside the window, more and more blue channels:
And finally, the railway crosses the turbulent Vakhsh with a piercing blue color. In terms of water consumption, it is actually approximately from Klyazmu, but the channel profile makes it one of the most energy-efficient rivers in the world, therefore, the Nurek hydroelectric station and the Rogun dam with the highest dams in the world have already been built on Vakhsh. In fact, Vakhsh, in the upper Surkhob (not to be confused with another Surkhob in Khatlon) is the main river of Tajikistan:
View of the railway bridge from the road, from the town of Sarband (16 thousand inhabitants), which, unlike Yavan, is much more like a village - I simply did not notice it from the highway:
In Sarband there is another brainchild of the old railway and a civil war victim - Vakhsh nitrogen fertilizer plant ("tuks" - the outdated name for mineral fertilizers, which remained in the plant name here). There seems to be no question of its restoration so far. View from the railway:
On the other side of the road is a brand new water park:
Ahead is the Kurgan-Tyube station with trains that have been standing motionless for more than a year:
Located 6 kilometers from the city, this station is the most important railway junction in Tajikistan. Under the Soviets, the privations of the broad gauge Termez-Yavan, the narrow gauge railway Dushanbe - Nizhny Pyanj and its branch to Kulyab, that is, a total of 5 directions, converged here! Now there are three of them left, but for the country of dead-end lines and this is a lot. Station of the 1960s:
The people from the train immediately ran up to the chatting platform and taking pictures, but outside there was a void, where I was the only one who guessed to go out of photographs, that is, almost no one rode the train in Kurgan-Tyube.
We talked with a young Tajik from Dushanbe, a local connoisseur of railways, exchanged impressions about the railway affairs of different countries. “It’s just that,” the source said, “I don’t understand why America’s been blaming you all the time on TV! They say that they’re all stupid there and will soon fall apart. They have the same technologies, for example, a braking system that is the same for the whole train "That is, the driver gave a signal - and each car starts to brake on its own, for the heaviest, the braking distance is reduced! No, you understand me correctly, I don’t like America myself, but I don’t need to underestimate it!" I even agreed with him that America really should not be underestimated, but only the know-how the technology he voiced was only for the American railways themselves - in the USSR automatic braking and steering have been in use since the 1970s.
I don’t know if there was at least some movement here in 2010-16:
The diesel engine leaves for Kulyab along a line built back in 1999 when it was hungry to replace the narrow gauge railway, and on the second track the diesel locomotive clings to the train cars to Shaartuz, which will go along the Soviet railway towards the now unattainable Termez:
Vitaly stayed in Kurgan-Tyube to spend the night to get registered in the morning in Dushanbe, and I entered an empty and unbearably dusty carriage. The conductor brought me a mattress with a pillow and a cup of fruit, and I signed up for the barn book. The president went from Dushanbe to Kulyab on Thursday, and this train left for his first flight, which was not even publicly available, but I became his first passenger.
And outside the dusty window, everything was crying out that we were going towards Afghanistan:
In some places, the train was raising dust like waves behind a motor boat, and according to the conductor and the policeman who had come to support the conversation, this dust had taken the path from the fact that there had been no trains here all these years. I don’t believe it in the mind as much as I believe in feeling:
There are only a few stations on the way. The station Jalaladdin Rumi, I do not know exactly what was called under the Soviets, is now named after the great Sufi poet who was born in 1207 in these parts (or rather, in the Afghan Balkh), and died in Turkish, where he founded the Sufi order of Mavlav with his famous spinning dervishes. The station here is much more capital than at most stations, but also typical - the same, for example, at Hanaka station in:
The path from Dushanbe to Kurgan-Tyube takes about 4 hours, even an hour is parking, and two and a half hours to Shaartuz. True, the train went very slowly and was 40 minutes late - apparently, in this part of the road the roads did not even bother to put in order. Between Burebovo and Kabodian there is another bridge over Vakhsh (which I could not capture) and a low ridge, beyond which we return to the Kafirnigan valley. The train goes on top, through the dead flying sands, but on the left hand reach the fertile valley. On that side of the mountain are Koikitau and Tuyntau, and after it is already Uzbekistan:
Here is the Shaartuz station. From the stuffy carriage I got out into the hot and dry, still Afghan air. A good-natured policeman took me to a line point and wrote down my passport data - I do not mind, but he reports that such and such was checked, no violations were revealed.
