A new east-west standard gauge line of 3930km from Dostuk on the Chinese border to north-west Iran is now under construction. 3070km of this line is in Kazakhstan, 770km in Turkmenistan and 70km in Iran.

In 2009 KTZ produced 902 million passenger-km. In 2007 261 million tonnes were transported (5.5% more than in 2006), producing 201 billion tonne-km (+5%).
