Passenger train No. 423/424 from Dushanbe to Moscow departed on June 21 after a nearly six-year hiatus. According to the Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan, the resumption of the route was made possible thanks to cooperation between the State Unitary Enterprise "Rohi ohani Tojikiston" (Tajik Railways) and Russian Railways (RZD), as well as coordination with the railway administrations of Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.
According to the Russian Railways online timetable, the first train is scheduled to arrive at Moscow's Paveletsky Station on June 24 at 10:08 PM.

Return flights from Moscow will begin operating on June 25. Departure is scheduled on Thursdays at 6:05 AM, and arrival in Dushanbe is scheduled on Mondays at 2:48 AM local time.
The journey takes about four days.

According to the Ministry of Transport of Tajikistan, tickets can be purchased 45 days before departure. Ticket sales from Dushanbe are already open.

Currently, three trains operated by the State Unitary Enterprise "Rohi okhani Toqikiston" also operate between Tajikistan and Russia: No. 319/320 "Kulyab – Volzhsky," No. 329/330 "Dushanbe – Volzhsky," and No. 359/360 "Khujand – Volzhsky." Each of these routes operates once a week.
