A freight train carrying more than 1,000 tons of Russian grain will depart for Armenia through Azerbaijani territory on Wednesday. The shipment consists of 11 wagons loaded with a total of 1,023 tons of agricultural cargo.
The train began its journey from Azerbaijani operated Bilajari Railway Station.
From the Bilajari facility, the freight train travelled west toward the Boyuk Kasik Railway Station near the Georgian border. After crossing into Georgia, the shipment is set to continue its transit southward to its final destination in Armenia.
Wednesday's dispatch follows a similar delivery facilitated earlier in the week, when on the 9th of March, a freight train consisting of seven wagons carried 488 tons of Russian grain along the exact same route to Armenia.
To date, more than 22,000 tons of grain (320 wagons) and 610 tons of fertilizer (9 wagons) have been transported from Russia to Armenia through Azerbaijan, highlighting the growing use of regional railway networks to transport essential commodities across the South Caucasus.
The continued transit of these goods demonstrates the operational capacity of Azerbaijan's transport infrastructure to serve as a reliable logistical bridge for neighbouring countries.
