Iran opens first section of railway link to Chabahar port

Iran has launched a first section of a key rail link to Chabahar, its only ocean port on the Sea of Oman. The line is a key section of a 628-kilometer rail link from Zahedan to Chabahar. It has cost some 63.7$ million to build while the government has spent double that figure on works in other sections of the project. Once finished, the Zahedan-Chabahar railway will allow cargo transit via Iran from the Indian Ocean to Afghanistan and other landlocked countries in Central Asia.
