The Turkestan–Siberian Railway (commonly abbreviated as the Turk–Sib Russian: Турксиб Kazakh: Түрксіб) is a 1520 mm (4 ft 11 27⁄32 in) broad gauge railway that connects Central Asia with Siberia. It starts north of Tashkent in Uzbekistan at Arys where it branches off from the Trans-Caspian Railway. It heads roughly northeast through Shymkent Taraz Bishkek (on a spur) to the former Kazakh capital of Almaty. There it turns northward to Semey before crossing the Russian border.
