Bukharsky railway station

The history of the Bukhara railway station dates back to the beginning of the 19th century, when the Transcaspian Railway was being built in Central Asia. It passed through the suburban village of Kagan near the city back in 1888. A little later, a narrow-gauge railway line was extended to the city, but then it was replaced by a standard broad gauge. In the 1920s, the Bukhara Railways played an important role in the course of the revolution and the establishment of Soviet power in the territory of the former Emirate of Bukhara.

Currently, there are two stations in Bukhara: Bukhara-1 in Kagan, and Bukhara-2 in Bukhara itself. But all trains arrive at the station in Kagan, and the Bukhara-2 station is used exclusively for freight transportation. There is a taxi stand next to Bukhara-1 train station, as the distance to the city is approximately 15 kilometers.
