The Transcaucus Railway (Russian: Железная дорога совещания Turkish: Kafkas Demiryolu) was the first railway in Caucasia. It was funded by the Russian Empire as a strategic railway connecting the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. Caucasia was a land disputed between the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Empire. The railway would allow the Russian army to have better control of Caucasia. Also with the Trans-Caspian railway Russia could transport troops from Central Asia much faster.
